About the piece
Created in 1776, this oil on copper painting by Joseph Vernet is a superlative example of the French master's maritime style. The composition skillfully leads the eye from the foreground figures in varied dress to the imposing lighthouse and distant shipping vessels, all unified by the atmospheric, billowing clouds and luminous sky characteristic of the artist's most celebrated works.
