"At Evening Time It Shall Be Light" is an evocative painting by the English artist Walter Langley, a pioneer in the Newlyn School of plein air artists. Created in 1890, this work is a testament to Langley's dedication to social realism and his empathetic portrayal of the working-class community in Newlyn, Cornwall, where he was based. The painting's title is a biblical reference from the Book of Zechariah 14:7, which speaks of hope and consolation, suggesting that even in difficult times, there can be a promise of better things to come.

The artwork is a watercolor, a medium in which Langley excelled, and it showcases his skill in capturing the effects of light and atmosphere. It depicts an elderly man, possibly a fisherman, sitting in contemplation or rest as the day draws to a close. The use of light and shadow in the painting emphasizes the passage of time and the reflective mood of the subject. Langley's attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the man's weathered skin and clothing add to the poignancy of the scene.

Langley's work is characterized by his compassionate representation of the hardships faced by the coastal community of Newlyn, and "At Evening Time It Shall Be Light" is no exception. The painting resonates with the themes of aging, the dignity of labor, and the quiet strength found in moments of solitude. It is a fine example of Langley's contribution to British social realism and his mastery of watercolor as a medium for storytelling.

The painting is part of a broader collection of works by the Newlyn School artists, who were known for their commitment to painting en plein air and their focus on the lives of the local fishing community. "At Evening Time It Shall Be Light" is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical proficiency, and it continues to be recognized as an important piece in the oeuvre of Walter Langley and the narrative of British art at the turn of the 20th century.
