aug 1, 1802 - "Dutch Boats in a Gale"

Description:

Classic Romantic painting in oil of a Turner sea scene. It presents a precursor to his later transportation themed landscapes. There is an interesting contrasting of light and colors between the breaking sun, the dark clouds and churning seas. A fine piece to study in context with more progressive work in the following years.

Turner, J. William. Dutch Boats in a Gale. 1802, Tate Gallery, London.
