EDITORS COMMENTS
Moonlight, Martigues (circa 1921) This exquisite watercolour painting captures the enchanting scene of Moonlight, Martigues, a serene and picturesque view of white buildings nestled beside a tranquil canal in the northwest of Marseille, France. Painted circa 1921, this masterpiece is a visual testament to the beauty of the French Riviera in the early 20th century. The artist, Arthur Romilly Fedden, skillfully employed a rich and vibrant colour palette to bring the scene to life. The buildings, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, are depicted with intricate detail, their white facades reflecting the shimmering water of the canal. The gentle ripples on the water's surface add a sense of calm and tranquility to the scene, while the moon, positioned high in the sky, casts a silvery light over the landscape. This painting was published in Volume 15, January 1922, of a popular magazine, showcasing the work of emerging artists of the time. The image, with its dreamlike quality, captivated audiences and solidified Romilly Fedden's reputation as a talented watercolourist. The scene of Moonlight, Martigues, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and evocative depiction of a bygone era. This painting is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another place and time, inviting us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
