Elijah Albert Cox
Elijah Albert Cox, Fishermen's Wives On A Dike, Return Of The Fleet

c. 1900

About the Item

This early 20th-century oil painting by British artist Elijah Albert Cox (1870-1955) depicts a vibrant coastal scene with fishermen’s wives and the returning fleet. Under a restless sky abundant with disparate clouds, two fishing boats head for the shore. The sea shimmering with blue tones, lifted with a splash of radiant white. Two fisherwomen navigate a dike, laden with baskets, anticipating the catch. While, in the foreground, dapples of light foliage rendered with impasto complete this sparkling symphony. Cox was a masterful colourist, imbuing his works with a sense of post-impressionistic lustre. Born amid the vigour of East End London, he’s transposed its buoyancy onto this coastal environment.
