Sometimes we’re initially drawn to a work of Art because of personal preference or fascination with a place, medium, or subject. But, sometimes there’s something more – a unique magic, ingrained in the work which seems to pull us in.

In this episode of Beyond the Frame, experience the magic of the powerful and alluring meeting of sea and shore. Kyra Duffley explores the dark and tragic character of the Cornish Coast in William Trost Richards’ 1884 oil on canvas.
