EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sea Fret, c. 1884" by Robert Jobling showcases a serene coastal scene enveloped in a mysterious mist. The artist skillfully captures the essence of a sea fret, as a grey haze blankets the cobles, small fishing boats returning to shore after their day's work. Strewn across the beach are shallow baskets containing long lines used for fishing. In this picturesque setting, fishwives diligently attend to their tasks while the fishermen were away at sea. They meticulously attach bait to new lines and prepare used ones for cleaning and re-baiting. The wheel of a boat carriage stands prominently on the left side of the painting, symbolizing both industry and tradition. Believed to be set in Cullercoats near Tynemouth, UK, this artwork beautifully portrays not only the coastal landscape but also provides insight into the daily lives of those living by the sea during that era. Amidst all this activity lies an element of tranquility as rowing boats gently sway in harmony with nature's rhythm. The inclusion of various elements such as sailboats, nets, wives tending to their duties alongside children and even animals adds depth and realism to this maritime masterpiece. This evocative painting transports viewers back in time to witness a moment frozen forever on canvas - capturing both beauty and livelihood intertwined along our coastlines throughout history.
