Description: | This is a study for a painting of the Ascension Day procession of boats along the Tyne to mark the bounds of the City of Newcastle. Also known as 'Barge Day', this event was held to assert the right of the City of Newcastle to hold authority over the River Tyne from Hedwin Streams, near Newburn to the mouth of the Tyne. The study shows the Newcastle Corporation barge on which Ralph Hedley was invited as a guest. Ralph Hedley was a very well known Newcastle artist, who painted many scenes of North-East life. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1891 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Ralph Hedley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
