EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by an unknown artist, showcasing the innocent joy and camaraderie of three young boys as they play on a French beach in the late teens of the 20th century. The painting, believed to be circa 1918, depicts the boys in similar yet contrastingly colored clothing, donning white shirts and blue shorts, as they dig in the tide with their shovels in hand. The vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us to a simpler time. This beautiful work of art was discovered in the vast and diverse collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, specifically within the August volume of the March of the Women magazine. The magazine, published in the early 1900s, was known for its socially conscious and feminist content, providing a platform for women's voices and advocating for their rights. However, this painting, while not directly related to the magazine's theme, is a testament to the rich and varied content that could be found within its pages. The painting's title, "On The Plage," is a nod to the French word for beach, further emphasizing the international scope of the collection. The boys' carefree and joyful play by the water's edge serves as a reminder of the universal language of childhood and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. In conclusion, "On The Plage" is a stunning and evocative painting that captures the essence of childhood and the beauty of the natural world. Its discovery in the August volume of the March of the Women magazine adds an intriguing layer of history and context to this beautiful work of art.
