Description: | This seascape was painted in the year of the artist's death. It shows a scene off the coast of Cornwall, where the North East artist Charles Napier Hemy had lived for nearly forty years. The ship is crossing a dangerous area above a bar (a bank of sand and silt that forms on the seabed near the mouth of a river). The rich blues and greens of the picture are characteristic of Hemy's watercolour style. Hemy spent much of his early life in the area around Newcastle. He became an extremely successful painter of ship scenes. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists watercolours art North East artists | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
