EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Evangeline, 1858" by Henry Hetherington Emmerson. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 106.7x158 cm and is housed in the esteemed Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Emmerson's artwork beautifully captures a poignant moment from the romantic poem "Evangeline" written by Henry Longfellow in 1847. The painting depicts Evangeline and her beloved Gabriel, who are central characters in the poem. Inspired by events that took place around 1760 in what is now Canada, the narrative follows a group of French settlers being expelled by British soldiers. In this evocative scene, Emmerson portrays a group of French settlers bidding farewell as they embark on a long journey southward. Their departure symbolizes their forced displacement and separation from their homeland. Amongst them stands Evangeline, searching for her sweetheart Gabriel whom she reunites with only to find him at death's door. The painting not only captures the emotional intensity between lovers but also serves as a historical testament to significant events during the eighteenth century when British soldiers expelled French settlers from certain territories. With meticulous attention to detail, Emmerson brings this powerful story to life through his masterful brushwork and use of color. This remarkable piece invites viewers into an immersive world where love and loss intertwine against the backdrop of Canadian landscapes.
