EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount's Bay, 1868" is a stunning etching and drypoint masterpiece by Sir Francis Seymour Haden, capturing the raw beauty and power of the Cornish coast in England during the Victorian era. This black and white artwork, created in the 1860s, showcases the iconic landscape of Mount's Bay, located in Cornwall, England, near the English Channel. The image features the distinctive silhouette of St. Michael's Mount, an island with a medieval castle, rising majestically from the churning waters. The waves crash against the rocky shoreline, creating a dynamic and energetic seascape that perfectly conveys the unyielding force of nature. Sir Francis Seymour Haden (1818-1910) was a renowned English artist, known for his etchings and engravings. His works often depicted landscapes, seascapes, and portraits, and were celebrated for their meticulous detail and tonal range. "Mount's Bay, 1868" is a prime example of Haden's skill, with its intricate lines and nuanced shading that bring the rugged Cornish coast to life. This etching and drypoint print is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The image invites us to appreciate the natural beauty of the past, while also serving as a reminder of the enduring allure of the Cornish coast and its rich geographical heritage.
