Description: | This work was probably painted by a follower of Charles François, or Georges de Lacroix. A pupil of the French landscape painter Vernet, Georges Lacroix, and indeed Charles François, painted many coastal scenes of striking similarity to the Shipley work. Echoing Vernet's love of painting a dramatically stormy sea, with man truly overpowered by the Elements, the Lacroix's characteristic motif of the lighthouse stands as a symbol of strength. | Subjects: | marine; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lacroix, Charles François (French painter, died 1782) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Lacroix, G.
