Description: | Signed: yes Description: The three-masted ship appears lost in the midst of this very rough sea, under a menacing sky. The lighter shade on the left suggests however that better weather is on its way and all is not as bad as it may seem. Durand-Brager would probably have witnessed such a scene as he travelled to the Atlantic Coast of Africa and was part of the expedition which brought back Napoleon's remains from St Helena in 1840. He is known as a painter of marine scenes, whether they be battles between ships or more descriptive pieces like this one. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Durand-Brager, Jean Baptiste Henri (French photographer, painter, 1814-1879) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9018... | Go to resource |
