EDITORS COMMENTS
The Setting Sun, c1897, (c1930) captures the serene beauty of a woman milking cows at sunset by the sea. Painted by Adrian Stokes, this masterpiece is housed in the Harris Museum & Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire. The painting showcases Stokes' exceptional talent for capturing the essence of rural life and nature's splendor. As dusk settles over the coastal landscape, the warm hues of twilight bathe everything in a golden glow. The setting sun paints streaks of orange and pink across the sky, creating a breathtaking backdrop for this tranquil scene. The woman gracefully tends to her cows with expert hands as they peacefully graze near the water's edge. Stokes' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate ripples on the surface of the sea to each strand of grass swaying gently in the evening breeze. This painting not only celebrates agriculture and farming but also pays homage to Victorian ideals of hard work and simplicity. Displayed prominently in "Modern Masterpieces of British Art" this print transports viewers back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and nature was revered as both provider and muse. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still solace to be found in embracing our connection with land and sea. Adrian Stokes' masterful depiction invites us to pause, appreciate nature's wonders, and find peace within ourselves as we witness this harmonious meeting between human labor and Mother Nature's grandeur.
