When the Boats are Away, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by artist Walter Langley that beautifully captures the essence of life in a fishing village. The scene depicts an elderly fisherman, clad in his oilskin attire, relaxing on a quay while reading a newspaper. His wife, wearing an apron, stands nearby with an expression of anger on her face. The image portrays the concept of relaxation amidst the geographical feature of the sea. As boats sail away into the distance, leaving behind a sense of emptiness and solitude, this couple finds solace in their own company. Their marriage seems to have weathered many storms as they peacefully coexist in their old age. Langley's artistic skill shines through as he masterfully portrays every detail - from the worn-out buildings in the background to the wrinkled faces of these villagers. This print belongs to Newlyn School, an artistic movement that originated in Cornwall during this time period. The composition evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when fishing villages like this were abundant along Britain's coastlines. It serves as a reminder of how people used to live off nature's bounty and find contentment within their close-knit communities. "When the Boats are Away" is not just another piece of art; it is a window into history and culture—a testament to both Langley's talent and his ability to capture human emotions through brushstrokes.
