EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Ben More from Iona, 1911-14" by Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell takes us back in time to the early 20th century. This oil painting on commercial artists board, housed at The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, Scotland, showcases Cadell's impressionistic style and his love for the creamy paint used to depict the sea foam. Cadell's connection with George Service, a Glasgow ship-owner whom he first met on Iona in 1913, adds an intriguing backstory to this artwork. Service became the proud owner of "Ben More from Iona" and their friendship blossomed over the years. He generously invited Cadell to his grand house outside Glasgow and even allowed him solitude on his yacht during sailing trips around the Western Isles. This generous patron not only supported Cadell emotionally but also financially by acquiring more than 150 works by the artist throughout their relationship. Many of these pieces were inspired by Iona itself. The image captures Ben More mountain rising majestically above Iona Island's picturesque coastline. The tranquil atmosphere exudes calmness and serenity as if time stands still in this idyllic coastal setting. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty and appreciate nature's wonders. Through this photo print, we are transported into a world where art meets history—a testament to both Cadell's artistic talent and his enduring friendship with George Service.
