EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite etching and roulette on Japanese paper by Mary Nimmo Moran, captures the ethereal beauty of twilight as it transitions into the gloom of night. Created in 1883, this 19th-century work of art is a stunning depiction of a riverside scene bathed in the soft, muted light of dusk. The image features a wooden bridge, its silhouette stark against the backdrop of the darkening sky. The bridge, with its intricate details, spans the river, leading the viewer's gaze into the distance. The windmill, a quintessential symbol of the past, stands tall and proud, its sails still turning, as if defying the encroaching darkness. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of fog, which blankets the landscape, adding an element of mystery and intrigue. The cloudy weather contributes to the overall mood of the artwork, making it a perfect representation of the transitional period between day and night. Mary Nimmo Moran's masterful use of black and white contrasts creates a striking visual effect, with the white elements of the windmill and the bridge standing out against the dark, gloomy background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures of the water, the bridge, and the windmill, which add depth and dimension to the artwork. This etching and roulette on Japanese paper is a testament to the beauty of the natural world and the passing of time. It is a concept that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this heritage art piece in its collection, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate the work of Mary Nimmo Moran and the beauty of the twilight hours.
