Image description

This painting celebrates the variety of transport and industry on Tyneside at its height in the mid 19th century. It culminates the series of eight oil paintings on canvas, using intense Pre-Raphaelite colours, that illustrate triumphant and brave moments in the history of the English border country - from the building of Hadrian’s Wall to the saving of shipwreck survivors in 1838 by Grace Darling, a local lighthouse keeper’s daughter. Painted between 1856 and 1861, the series was commissioned from William Bell Scott, director of the School of Design in Newcastle, by Sir Walter Trevelyan, 6th Bt (1797-1879) and his wife Pauline Jermyn, whose was a close friend of John Ruskin and his circle. They decorate the newly-enclosed courtyard at the Trevelyan's 17th-century mansion of Wallington, which lies in the heart of the Northumberland countryside. Along with the spandrels, decorated with a progression of eighteen scenes from the Ballad of Chevy Chase, and the lower pilasters painted with local flora by other visiting artist friends, it remains one of the most complex and appealing schemes of mid-Victorian mural decoration to survive in Britain
