The Time was Young
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a serene moment in the countryside, evoking a sense of nostalgia and simplicity. In this enchanting scene, misty colors and soft-edged forms create a contemplative mood that transports viewers to a bygone era. William Lee-Hankey, an artist known for his depictions of village life, showcases his talent for painting figures in watercolor through the portrayal of a young girl. With delicate brushstrokes and careful attention to detail, Hankey brings her to life on the canvas. Having moved to France in search of unspoiled scenes of rural existence, Hankey found inspiration in Normandy and Brittany. This particular artwork exemplifies his ability to capture the essence of country life with its rustic charm and timeless beauty. The title itself, "The Time was Young" suggests an idyllic way of living that has endured throughout history. Using washes of watercolor on damp paper, Hankey skillfully merges colors together throughout the composition. This technique adds depth and dimension while also creating a dreamlike quality that enhances the overall atmosphere. Displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in an enchanting world where time stands still. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there is something captivating about embracing simplicity and reconnecting with nature's tranquility.
