EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor and graphite print by John Sell Cotman captures the ethereal beauty of a parhelion, also known as a sun dog or mock sun, seen from Hunstanton Lighthouse on July 6, 1816. The atmospheric optical phenomenon creates a bright spot to one or both sides of the sun, adding a touch of magic to the sky.
Cotman's delicate brushstrokes and attention to detail bring this natural wonder to life, showcasing his skill as an artist in capturing the fleeting moments of nature. The play of light and shadow in this piece evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the mysteries of the universe.
The soft hues and subtle gradients in this artwork create a dreamlike quality that transports viewers to another time and place. The careful composition draws the eye towards the radiant glow of the parhelion against the backdrop of Hunstanton Lighthouse, creating a sense of harmony between man-made structures and natural phenomena.
As you gaze upon this exquisite print, let yourself be swept away by the beauty and majesty of nature captured by Cotman's skilled hand. This artwork is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to contemplate our place in the vastness of creation.
