About the Item
The frame isNicholas Matthew Condy (British, 1816–1851)
Sailing Vessel off a Lighthouse, mid-19th century
Oil on artist’s panel
In this vivid coastal scene, a schooner heaves through a choppy sea beneath a shifting sky, its sails catching the wind as it passes a distant lighthouse. Painted on artist’s panel with meticulous attention to the play of light and shadow, this work reflects Nicholas Matthew Condy’s hallmark precision and romantic sensibility. The composition is alive with movement—billowing canvas, waves dashing against the hull, and gulls circling above—yet it retains an underlying sense of calm control.
A master of maritime detail, Condy brought an intimate understanding of naval architecture and seafaring life to his work, likely shaped by his upbringing in Plymouth and his family’s naval connections. He was particularly adept at balancing the elegance of ship design with the ever-changing moods of the sea. In this painting, he offsets the grandeur of the schooner with the steady silhouette of the lighthouse, creating a compelling visual dialogue between navigation and nature.
The use of panel, rather than canvas, enhances the crispness of detail and the subtle variation in the sky and water. The result is a work that is both technically exacting and emotionally resonant—a quiet tribute to the grace and resilience of ships at sea.
The painting is framed in its original 19th-century handmade frame.
