James Sharples (1825-1892): Ironworker and Artist began painting ‘The Forge’ 9 of 13
in 1844. However, it took three years to complete, because he was still working long hours at the foundry. ‘The Forge’ depicts, in Sharples’ own words, “the interior of a large workshop such as I have been accustomed to work in”.

The painting shows a group of workers directing a large iron shaft into the blazing furnace, which is attended by a smithy, whilst other operations are being carried out in the distance. The details of the painting, such as the unlit interior, the heat of the furnace, the hard manual labour required and the soiled appearance of the workers, mean that ‘The Forge’ can be seen as a shockingly matter-of-fact depiction of life within a foundry.
