About the piece
Painted around 1780 by Thomas Luny, this oil on canvas captures a packet boat and other sailing vessels maneuvering through a stiff breeze off South Foreland. The composition highlights Luny's specialized skill in rendering the translucency of canvas sails against a churning sea and a vast, atmospheric sky.
