EDITORS COMMENTS
Delights of Fishing," an exquisite hand-coloured etching and aquatint on ivory wove paper created by Charles Turner in 1823, presents a charming and picturesque scene of two anglers enjoying a day at the riverbank in England. The serene and idyllic setting is reminiscent of the British countryside, with a winding estuary in the background, dotted with picturesque buildings and a distant windmill. The anglers, dressed in the fashion of the time, are deeply engrossed in their pastime, their faces reflecting a sense of contentment and camaraderie. The intricately detailed print showcases the artist's mastery of the aquatint technique, with the textured etching bringing to life the rippling water, the feathers of the ducks, and the intricate patterns on the clothing of the anglers. The hand-colouring adds a vibrant and lively quality to the print, with the rich hues of the water, sky, and foliage creating a sense of depth and dimension. The concept of leisure and enjoyment is central to this work, with the anglers taking a break from their daily routines to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature. The presence of the ducks adds a playful and whimsical touch to the scene, while the geographical features of the river and estuary serve as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the outdoors and the joys of friendship, making it a beloved piece in the Heritage Art collection and a must-have for any art lover or collector of 19th-century British art.
