Shored Boats, October 16, 1809
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite etching on off-white wove paper by the renowned British artist, Cornelius Varley. Created in the 19th century, this masterpiece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. The scene depicted in the print is reminiscent of the coastal areas of England, with its shores dotted with a multitude of boats. Varley's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate etching of the boats, each one unique in its shape and size. The boats are shown at rest, their sails furled and ropes coiled, as if in anticipation of the impending winter. The background is populated with figures, adding a sense of activity and life to the otherwise tranquil scene. The houses and structures along the shoreline are also etched with great care, their windows and doors providing a glimpse into the lives of the people who call this place home. The use of black and white in the print adds to its timeless quality, transporting the viewer back to a bygone era. The title of the print, "Shored Boats, October 16, 1809," suggests that this was a specific moment in time that Varley chose to capture. The date and the title serve to emphasize the importance of the everyday activities of the people and the role of water transport in the lives of those living in coastal communities during this period. Overall, "Shored Boats, October 16, 1809" is a stunning example of the artistic prowess of Cornelius Varley and a valuable addition to the Art Institute of Chicago's collection. It invites the viewer to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a coastal community in England during the 19th century, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in heritage art, prints, and drawings.
