EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Schooner Yacht Esmeralda gracefully navigating through the turbulent waters of Alderney Roads off Cap le Hague in 1861. Painted by Arthur Wellington Fowles, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 30.4x45.7 cm and is now part of a private collection at eRoyal Exchange Art Gallery in Cork Street, London. The scene depicts a dramatic moment as stormy clouds loom overhead, casting an ominous atmosphere over the English Channel. The French coast can be seen in the distance, adding a touch of international allure to this maritime artwork. Amidst the tumultuous waves and dark skies, a lighthouse stands tall as a beacon of hope and guidance for seafarers like Esmeralda. Its light pierces through the gloom, illuminating both the treacherous path ahead and the beauty that lies within this painting. Fowles' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he skillfully captures not only the raw power of nature but also showcases his mastery in portraying movement and texture on canvas. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, you are transported back to an era when sailing boats ruled these waters with their elegance and resilience. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is always strength to be found – whether it be within ourselves or through external sources such as art or nature's wonders.
