The Evening Star, 1846
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Robert Scott Lauder is a captivating oil painting that evokes a sense of tranquility and tenderness. The artwork, measuring 115x75.5 cm, is housed in the Calderdale Museums Service in West Yorkshire, UK. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a serene bedroom illuminated by the soft glow of starlight. A mother kneels beside her sleeping child's bed, her gentle embrace enveloping them both with love and protection. The artist skillfully captures the maternal bond as the mother's arched bosom provides comfort to her little one. The pale hues and delicate brushstrokes create an ethereal atmosphere within the room. The drape cascading down from above adds an element of elegance and serenity to the composition. Lauder draws inspiration from Sappho's poem "Hesperus the Bringer" translated by Lord Byron himself: "O Hesperus, thou bringest all good things". This connection to classical literature further enhances the timeless beauty depicted in this painting. "The Evening Star" invites us into a world where nighttime becomes a sanctuary for love and nurturing. It reminds us of the profound bond between mother and child that transcends time and place. Through Lauder's masterful technique, he immortalizes this intimate moment for generations to come.
