EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A bracing day at the seaside" artist John Leech transports us to a winter's day in Scarborough. The artwork, created with watercolor over pencil on paper, measures 25.2x35 cm and is part of The Henry Barber Trust collection at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham. The scene depicts a group of people enjoying a refreshing outing by the beach. Despite the chilly weather and blustery winds coming from the North Sea, their spirits remain high as they explore the shoreline together. The family depicted in the painting seems undeterred by the elements, embracing the invigorating atmosphere that only a coastal setting can provide. Leech's masterful brushstrokes capture not only the natural beauty of Scarborough's coastline but also convey a sense of movement and energy within his subjects. Their clothing billows in response to the strong sea breeze, adding an element of dynamism to this serene scene. This artwork serves as a reminder that even on cold winter days, there is joy to be found in nature's embrace. It invites viewers to imagine themselves joining these figures on their seaside adventure – feeling fresh sea air against their cheeks and hearing crashing waves along with laughter echoing through time. Through Leech's skillful depiction, we are transported into this timeless moment where families come together for shared experiences amidst nature's ever-changing backdrop.
