About the piece
Painted in 1824 by Richard Parkes Bonington, this oil on canvas captures the ethereal light of the Normandy coast near Quillebeuf. The composition balances the solid forms of horses and a stranded boat in the foreground against the delicate, vertical masts of sailing ships and a vast, cloud-filled sky that dominates the scene.
