EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening in Brixham, Devon, circa 1920: A Moment of Reflection Amidst the Hustle and Bustle of a Fishing Town This evocative oil painting captures the tranquil beauty of an evening in the fishing town of Brixham, Devon, circa 1920. The mass of docked boats, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, form a vibrant and colorful tableau against the backdrop of the harbor platform. The still waters reflect the warm hues of the sky, creating a sense of calm and serenity. A solitary figure can be seen sitting on the edge of the platform, lost in thought as they take in the scene before them. The figure, dressed in a simple, turn-of-the-century outfit, adds a human element to the otherwise static composition, inviting the viewer to contemplate the passing of time and the simple pleasures of life. This beautiful work of art, created with expert brushstrokes and rich, oil colors, is a testament to the talent of the artist, Hilda Clements Hassell. The painting was featured in the September issue of a popular magazine, Volume 13, and has since become a cherished piece of history, offering a glimpse into the past and the everyday life of a bustling fishing town. Brixham, with its picturesque harbor and thriving fishing industry, continues to be a popular destination for visitors seeking a taste of the English Riviera. This painting serves as a reminder of the town's rich maritime heritage and the simple joys of a bygone era.
