Description: | This is a fine seascape by the North East artist John Wilson Carmichael. The picture uses one of his favourite types of composition. A small boat filled with fishermen in the foreground points to the most important ship, which is highlighted by a patch of rough, white-capped waves. This ship itself points to another ship further away on the left. The zigzag line of the ships creates lively movement in the picture. The sensation of movement is increased by the contrasts of light and shade across the painting. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East North East artists people | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
