About the piece
Painted in 1847 by James Wilson Carmichael, this powerful oil on canvas captures the perilous expedition of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. The composition features the vessels dwarfed by massive, snow-covered mountains, with brilliant shafts of light breaking through heavy clouds to illuminate the churning, icy waves of the Antarctic sea.
