The Cornish period was important in Brangwyn’s development and this painting is perhaps the most fascinating of his Newlyn-style works. To get to Mevagissey the artist left London aboard the Waterford Packet in October 1887. He landed at Falmouth, where he more than likely visited his good friend and mentor Charles Napier Hemy (1841–1917), RA. From Falmouth he travelled to St Austell, and then walked carrying his painting materials to Mevagissey, where he painted plein-air in the modern Newlyn style. Brangwyn’s short time in the area was important, helping him to concentrate on the half-tones that vary so subtly in the constantly changing Cornish light. At the beginning of 1888, he began this view of the construction of the outer harbour.
