The Cornish period was important in Brangwyn’s development and this painting is perhaps the most fascinating of his Newlyn-style works.
At the beginning of 1888, he began this view of the construction of the outer harbour. It was a most unusual subject for an artist, comparable to an artist today deciding to paint workmen constructing a motorway. Neverthless, it was entirely in keeping with the ideals of William Morris, for whom both Brangwyn and Hemy had worked. The subject of manual labour was a theme Brangwyn would return to throughout his career.
