Description: | This seascape was painted between 1874 and 1875. The artist James Webb was a favourite of Edwin and Mary Richards (the original collectors of the Wednesbury Museum art collection). In 1930 there were twenty five works by this artist in the collection. After the sale in 1948 only five were unsold and these are still in the collection today. James Webb was a London based artist who was known for his paintings of English, Welsh and European costal scenes. His paintings are very similar to John Turner and he used pale colours to create natural looking scenes. Webb exhibited his works at the Royal Academy, The British Institution and important venues such as the Grosvenor Gallery.
