About the Item
This fine late 19th-century etching by British artist Henry Robert Robertson (1839-1921) depicts a couple worshipping a shrine to the Virgin Mary at sea. The original painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1879.
The couple sailed to this location, which appears to be coastal, maybe Italy. He’s standing with hat respectfully held to his chest, while the female bows her head in prayer. Is this a pilgrimage? Have they travelled across land and sea? Or are they seeking a blessing for a long voyage ahead?
Robertson hailed from Windsor and exhibited numerous works at the Royal Academy between 1969-1904.

- George Sidney Hunt After Edwin Long RA, In the Wilderness, EngravingLocated in Cheltenham, GBThis late 19th-century mixed-method engraving by George Sidney Hunt (1856-1917) after Edwin Long RA (1829-1891) is one in a series of three depicting the Old Testament story of Jephthah. Here, we see Jephthah’s daughter contemplating her fate during a two-month sojourn in the wilderness. The heart-rending story of Jephthah captured Victorian minds and inspired artist Edwin Long to produce three exhibition pieces, which are now held at the Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum. Prior to a fearsome battle with the Ammonites, Jephthah, a leader in Isreal, committed a vow to God that he’d make a sacrifice if his armies were triumphant. “whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering...Category
