Taggs Island - A Serenade Under the Moonlight
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas painting by Percy William Gibbs, titled "Taggs Island" transports us to a romantic evening along the River Thames. The artist skillfully captures the essence of a tranquil night as punts gently glide through the water, their reflections shimmering beneath them. The scene is set in the early 20th century, but it carries echoes of a bygone era with its nod to Tom Tagg, who left an indelible mark on this island paradise. From his boat hire business in 1841 to the construction of Thames Hotel in 1872, Tagg's legacy lives on within these brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this nocturne masterpiece, our imagination takes flight. We can almost hear soft melodies drifting from unseen musicians serenading couples strolling along the riverbank promenade. The distant lights twinkle like stars guiding boats and tugboats alike through this enchanting landscape. Gibbs' attention to detail brings each element to life – from meticulously painted boats adorning the river's surface to every stroke that creates an ethereal atmosphere under moonlit skies. This painting invites us into a world where time stands still and whispers of romance fill the air. With its timeless beauty and evocative ambiance, "Taggs Island" captures both history and emotion within its frame. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern lives, there are moments when we can escape into
