Catalogue Number 80.02

Watercolour - artist unknown. 35 cm. wide by 17 cm. high. Framed.

Since the late 19th century, St. Ives has been home to one of the more famous artists' colonies, drawn there, so they say, by the unique quality of the light.

This small watercolour was bought from one of the many small galleries in St. Ives during a short holiday in 1980. It is inscribed with the word TREGENZA, which is both a Cornish surname and a placename, so whether it refers to the artist or to the location painted, is not clear. It is a skillful Turner-esque work, reminiscent to me of the Laubscher painting (66.01).

My own connection at that time with Cornwall was more prosaic - the London rugby club that I played for came to Cornwall for their early season tour, playing at Redruth, Cambourne and Newlyn, and we stayed at the Carbis Bay Hotel, and trained on the beach there.

Spanish

"Cosecha".

No de catálogo 80.02Acuarela, autor desconocido. Mide 35 cm de ancho por 17 cm de alto. Enmarcado.

"Desde finales del siglo XIX, St. Ives ha sido el hogar de una de las colonias de artistas más famosas, dibujada allí, según dicen, por la calidad única de la luz.

Esta pequeña acuarela fue comprada en una de las muchas galerías de St. Ives durante unas cortas vacaciones en 1980. Tiene anotada la palabra TREGENZA, que es tanto un apellido de Cornualles como un nombre de lugar, así que si se refiere al artista o a la ubicación pintada, no está claro. Es un hábil trabajo Turneriano, que me recuerda a la pintura de Laubscher (66.01).

Mi conexión en ese momento con Cornualles era más prosaica: el club de rugby londinense para el que jugaba entonces vino a Cornualles para efectuar su gira de principios de temporada, jugando en Redruth, Cambourne y Newlyn, y nos quedamos en el Carbis Bay Hotel, y nos entrenábamos en la playa".
