Painting Description
"The Rain it Raineth Every Day" is a notable painting by the Irish artist Norman Garstin (1847–1926), created in 1889. This work is celebrated for its atmospheric depiction of a rainy day on the seafront of Penzance, Cornwall, where Garstin lived for much of his life. The painting is a quintessential example of the Newlyn School, a group of artists based in the fishing village of Newlyn in Cornwall, who were known for their realist and naturalist works, focusing on local landscapes and daily life.
The title of the painting is a line from William Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night," reflecting Garstin's interest in literature and its influence on his artistic work. The painting captures a panoramic view of the Penzance promenade and the sea, shrouded in mist and rain, with figures of people braving the weather, depicted in a manner that conveys a sense of movement and the dampness of the atmosphere. The use of muted colors and the detailed rendering of the wet surfaces contribute to the overall impression of a dreary, rain-soaked day.
Garstin's technique and composition in "The Rain it Raineth Every Day" demonstrate his mastery of light and atmosphere, characteristics that align him with the broader Impressionist movement, although he maintained a distinct style. The painting is also notable for its reflection of everyday life, capturing a moment that is both specific in its setting and universal in its depiction of humanity's interaction with nature.
Today, "The Rain it Raineth Every Day" is held in the collection of the Penlee House Gallery & Museum in Penzance, Cornwall, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic significance and its evocative portrayal of the Cornish landscape and weather. The work remains an important piece in the study of the Newlyn School and late 19th-century British art, offering insights into the socio-cultural context of the time, as well as the technical and thematic preoccupations of Norman Garstin.
