Delights of Fishing,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite hand-colored etching and aquatint on ivory wove paper created by Charles Turner in 1823, presents a charming scene of three English anglers enjoying a day of leisure by the riverbank. The serene estuary, with its gentle curves and tranquil waters, serves as the perfect backdrop for this delightful tableau. Turner masterfully captures the essence of the pastime, with the anglers intently focused on their fishing rods, their expressions reflecting a sense of anticipation and enjoyment. The older angler in the foreground, dressed in a waistcoat and trousers, expertly casts his line into the water, while the two younger boys, clad in shirtsleeves, assist him with the fishing net and hold the fishing rods. The intricate details of the fishing equipment, the textured fabric of their clothing, and the naturalistic rendering of the landscape all contribute to the richness and depth of this work. The title "Delights of Fishing" suggests an emphasis on the amusement and pleasure derived from this traditional British pastime. The hand-tinted colors add a touch of vibrancy to the scene, bringing the figures and the landscape to life. The image is part of a larger series of prints by Turner and Robert Frankland Russell, which showcase various aspects of rural life and the natural world in England during the nineteenth century. This beautiful and evocative print, with its timeless appeal and enduring charm, continues to captivate viewers and transport them to a bygone era.
