Walter Langley, a pioneering figure in the Newlyn School of artists, is renowned for his evocative portrayals of the lives of fishermen and their families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of his notable works, "Fisherman," exemplifies his commitment to social realism and his deep empathy for the working-class subjects he depicted. Langley, who was born in Birmingham in 1852, initially trained as a lithographer before turning to painting. His move to Newlyn, a fishing village in Cornwall, in 1882 marked a significant turning point in his career, as he became one of the first artists to settle there and helped establish the Newlyn School.

"Fisherman" captures the essence of Langley's artistic vision, focusing on the daily struggles and quiet dignity of the fishing community. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of a muted color palette, which enhances the somber mood of the scene. Langley's adept use of watercolor, a medium in which he excelled, allows for delicate gradations of light and shadow, bringing a sense of immediacy and intimacy to the work.

The composition of "Fisherman" often features a solitary figure, emphasizing the isolation and peril inherent in the fisherman's life. Langley's empathetic portrayal is not merely a romanticized vision of rural life but a poignant commentary on the harsh realities faced by these individuals. His works, including "Fisherman," are celebrated for their authenticity and emotional depth, reflecting his genuine concern for the social issues of his time.

Langley's contribution to art extends beyond his technical skill; his works are a testament to his belief in the power of art to convey human experience and social truths. "Fisherman" remains a significant piece within his oeuvre, embodying the spirit of the Newlyn School and its dedication to depicting the lives of ordinary people with honesty and compassion.
