Description: | A ship in rough water, figures on a rocky shore, and tall crags often appear in Nicholas Pocock's paintings. In this scene, sailors are hauling a boat on to the shore using a capstan. A crashing wave adds drama to the scene. The composition is modelled on the Dutch 17th century tradition of sea paintings. Nicholas Pocock was a sailor before becoming an artist. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists oil paintings art men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
