About the Item
Oil on canvas
Image size: 8 3/4 x 12 1/2 inches (22 1/4 x 31 3/4 cm)
Gilt frame
This is a painting from the 19th Century depicts Gibraltar Island in Ohio, America, located within lake Erie. The rocky island is named for its resemblance to the Rock of Gibraltar.
The present painting, dominated by its horizontal layout and the choice of a very high viewpoint, shows a panoramic view of a fragment of nature. The artist creates a majestic view of the sky and the strength of its light and its transparency. Colour, light and the vastness of the landscape in its virgin state are undoubtedly the true subjects of this Romantic painting. By using devices such as various planes which are not continued into the background, a combination of very high viewpoints for the land and very low ones for the sky, and contrasts of light, the artist succeeds in conveying the experience of the place, expressed in monumental terms.

- Moonlight Scene with FishermenLocated in London, GBOil on canvas Image size: 23 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (60 x 47 cm) Original frame This moonlit view features many of the usual features of Sebastian Pether's work: a painterly river, mountain scenery and the incorporation of classical gothic ruins in an attractive though artificial style. The ruins in the foreground and city in the background have been painstakingly depicted in meticulous detail. On the bank in the foreground, and out on the river itself, we see three night fishermen silhouetted against the calm waters. The artist has cleverly balanced the light emanating from the moon, and the reflection of this light glistening on the river surface below, to create the mysterious atmosphere of the moonlit evening. Indeed, he has skilfully employed the strong use of chiaroscuro effects of light and shade in this painting so that the eye is drawn to the full moon as it illuminates the sky. It is undeniably a work of Romanticism, a style that was popular around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Artist Sebastian Pether was an English landscape-painter. He was the eldest son of Abraham Pether...Category
