EDITORS COMMENTS
Study for Commerce or The Triumph of the Thames, 1767/80, is a captivating pen and ink drawing by James Barry, an Irish artist of the 18th century. The intricately detailed work depicts a group of figures gathered around the mouth of the Thames Estuary, celebrating the triumph of commerce and navigation. At the center of the composition, the deity Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, trade, and the arts, presides over the scene. He is flanked by figures personifying various aspects of commerce, including Manufacturing and the Nereid, a sea nymph representing the Thames. The prominent figure of Captain Cook, dressed in his explorer's attire, is shown at the left, gazing out towards the estuary. Cook's presence underscores the importance of exploration and discovery in the expansion of commerce during this period. The drawing also features portraits of other notable figures of the time, including Sir Francis Drake, the famous English sea captain and explorer. The dynamic composition, with its bold lines and contrasting light and shadow, is a testament to Barry's skill as a draftsman. The use of pen and brown ink over red and black chalk on tan laid paper laid down on ivory wove paper adds to the rich texture and depth of the image. This evocative drawing is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and historical context of the 18th century, showcasing the significance of commerce, exploration, and the power of the sea in shaping the world as we know it.
