About the Item
Victorian Marine Seascape Large Oil Painting of Pure Seas and Shimmering Light by the absolute Master of Pure Seas Paintings. This is a beautiful, ethereal work by Henry Moore (THE Henry Moore and not the famous Sculptor!).
The seascape we have for sale is an exquisite example of Moore’s sea-painting (he began painting the sea in the late 1860s), this, produced at the height of his fame and talents, it was painted in 1891. In it he captures the rolling waves as they catch the light and conveys a cool beauty within this deceptively simple composition. There may be a hint of a vessel in the background but maybe it is a trick of the light!! The seagulls dance in the foreground.
Moore manages to straddle two enormous art movements; both the Pre-Raphaelite and Impressionism, it is almost impossible to overstate his importance in the history of British Marine Paintings.
"Henry Moore was next to Turner the most learned and accomplished student of marine motives and the finest exponent of the facts of the sea whom any school has produced" (British Marine Painting by A.L. Baldry).
Brook-Hart in "British 19th Century Marine Painting" considers that at the "distance of time these words seem rather lavish praise" and continues that Moore had an eye of some genius when he viewed the sea and it's relationship to the sky and wind.
Henry Moore is one of the finest maritime painters in the history of British art, but in most of his paintings, you have to look pretty hard to find the boat. As his obituarist in The Times wrote, in 1895: “His delight was in the sea itself and in atmosphere…”
Moore’s art - like that of the French impressionists, was about conveying mood through light, colour and movement, rather than pure representation – a fact noted in the artist’s obituary:
“Having mastered wave-form in its immense variety, he set himself to paint the rollers of the mid-Channel or the quiet surface of the waters, or the little waves as they come rippling towards the shore, considering all of them as problems of light and colour as much as form and movement.”
