Night on the Dart
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by the skilled hand of Henry William Lowe-Hurst, a painter, engraver, and printmaker, circa 1920. The image portrays a tranquil and mesmerizing scene of a calm ocean foreground, leading to a quaint harbour town nestled on a peninsula. The dark evening sky, painted with rich hues of blue and purple, sets the mood for this serene tableau. This exquisite print, part of Volume 13, December, of a magazine, is a testament to Lowe-Hurst's mastery of the etching process. The intricate details of the ocean's ripples, the harbour town's architectural structures, and the distant lights of the townspeople's homes are all rendered with remarkable precision and depth. The title "Night on the Dart" suggests a sense of stillness and solitude, as if we are witnessing a moment frozen in time. The dart in the title could refer to the narrow body of water that separates the peninsula from the mainland, or it could be a metaphor for the journey into the unknown that the night brings. Lowe-Hurst's "Night on the Dart" is a visual poem that invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the natural world, as well as the charm and allure of a quiet harbour town under the cover of darkness. This timeless print continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another place and time.
