About the Item
Duncan McFarlane’s The Packet Sunbeam of Boston Picking Up the Liverpool in Heavy Gale is a striking maritime composition that captures the power and peril of the open sea. The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a packet ship braving the fury of a turbulent storm, its sails straining against the wind as towering waves crash against its hull. The dark, churning waters and the storm-laden sky create an atmosphere of intensity, emphasizing the bravery and skill required of sailors to navigate such treacherous conditions. In the background, another vessel, The Liverpool, is seen battling the same relentless storm, reinforcing the theme of resilience amidst nature’s overwhelming forces. McFarlane masterfully renders the textures of the roiling sea and the wind-swept rigging, immersing the viewer in the raw energy of maritime life.
This painting is a prime example of 19th-century British marine art, a tradition that celebrated the age of sail and the heroic endeavors of seafarers. Influenced by Dutch maritime masters and the Romantic movement’s fascination with nature’s power, McFarlane’s work embodies both technical precision and dramatic storytelling. His ability to convey movement and atmosphere elevates The Packet Sunbeam of Boston Picking Up the Liverpool in Heavy Gale beyond mere documentation, transforming it into a testament to the indomitable spirit of sailors and the ever-present dangers of the sea. This piece stands as an enduring example of McFarlane’s contributions to maritime art, preserving the legacy of 19th-century seafaring in all its peril and majesty.

Old town
1983. Watercolor, acrylic on paper, 76x56 cm
The central focus of the artwork is on an old town, a historic district known for its antiquated architecture, cobbled streets, and a sense of bygone eras. The combination of watercolor and acrylic on paper offers a diverse and dynamic visual experience. Watercolors can create soft and atmospheric effects, while acrylics provide vibrancy and texture, making the artwork expressive and visually engaging.
