About the Item
Serene nocturnal seascape by George Fotherly Hargitt (American/Scottish, 1837-1926). The San Diego harbor stretches out in front of the viewer, depicted from a vantage point above the bay.

George Hargitt (Scottish, 1837-1926) was a self-taught landscape painter. In England, he taught painting, and two of his pupils were later knighted - Sir W. Q. Orchardson and Sir John McWhirtle. In the 1870s, Hargitt immigrated to London, Ontario, Canada where he farmed in the summers and painted in the winters. In 1923, he and his wife moved to San Diego, California, where he lived until his death in 1926.

Tonalist paintings are softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed, often depicting the landscape at twilight or evening, when there is an absence of contrast. Tonalist paintings could also be figurative, but in them, the figure was usually out of doors or in an interior in a low-key setting with little detail.
