Description: | Myles Birket Foster's view shows the lighthouse on Coquet Island, Northumberland. At the front of the scene, two children are playing near huge ship's timbers and the ribs of a wrecked boat. The Northumberland coast was dangerous, and there were many wrecks. This scene is painted in quite a broad washy style, rather than the bright, minutely detailed watercolours for which Foster was best known. The picture may have been painted when Myles Birket Foster was visiting his friend Alexander Shannon Stevenson, who lived at Tynemouth. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion artists living in the North East watercolours other North East buildings and views art military | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
