Samuel John 'Lamorna' Birch
Sanctuary, Cliffs at St Just, Cornwall - newlyn school

About the Item

Oil on panel, signed lower right Image size: 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (32 x 39 cm) Art Deco style frame Inscribed verso "Sanctuary, St Just, Cornwall" Also with sketch by the artist attached to the back. This landscape looks across at a dominating vertical rock formation in Lamorna Cove, with the expanse of sea opening out to the horizon behind. The light from the sun wonderfully illuminates the rock, emphasising the collection of colours and tones that are contained within. These are then skilfully reflected by Birch on the shimmering surface of the shallows of the water just below, aside the cold shadows that are cast by the vast structure. On the left we see a swimmer perching on a boulder who is, similarly to us, admiring the natural form and its intricacies
