EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Hampton Court Ferry and Hampton Church in the distance. Created by Bernard Lens III in 1731-33, this pen and black ink drawing on laid paper showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details. The scene depicts a picturesque view of the River Thames, with boats gently gliding across its calm waters. A tugboat can be seen leading a small fleet of vessels, symbolizing the importance of transport and connectivity during that era. The artist's skilled use of wash technique adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its overall visual appeal. Hampton Church stands proudly in the background, its spire reaching towards the sky as if touching heaven itself. This iconic landmark adds a sense of grandeur to an already breathtaking landscape. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature is beautifully portrayed here, reminding us of humanity's harmonious coexistence with our surroundings. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a simpler time when boating along rivers was not only a means of transportation but also an opportunity for leisurely enjoyment. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us closer to history through their remarkable collection, allowing us to appreciate artistry from centuries past without any commercial limitations or restrictions on our imagination.
