Description: | This fine picture shows a group of British warships in the English Channel, and was painted after John Wilson Carmichael moved from Newcastle to London in 1846. A broken mast, presumably the result of a storm, lies in the water. Fishing boats at the front of the picture point into the centre of the scene. Further back is the group of ships, seen from different angles to show off their complex design. Navy rowing boats can be seen beside the warships and in the centre of the picture. Paintings of groups of large naval ships, such as this, were expressions of national pride. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East North East artists people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
