Description: | This is a fine seascape by 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 also highlighted by a patch of rough, white-capped waves. This ship itself points to another ship further away on the left. The zig-zag 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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1838 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Wilson Carmichael | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
