Description: | Signed: yes Description: Gudin spent a lot of time in Scotland, particularly Aberdeenshire, after his marriage to the daughter of Lord Hay of Seaton in 1842. An inscription on the back of the frame to this painting confirms the location as the Rocks of Girdle Ness, a treacherous headland to the south of Aberdeen Harbour. Here, under a brooding sky, waves crash and swirl around the rocky point. In the foreground there is much activity. Boats are brought ashore from the hostile waters and fisher-folk huddle around fires, cooking meals and gaining comfort from the worsening weather. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Scotland Girdle Ness); marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gudin, Théodore (French painter and printmaker, 1802-1880) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9021... | Go to resource |
