About the piece
Painted in 1886 by American artist Alexis Jean Fournier, this evocative oil on canvas depicts a steamship passing the dramatic, tree-crowned cliffs of Lake Superior. The work masterfully balances the immense, vertical rock face with the dark, trailing smoke of the vessel, all enveloped in the soft, diffused light of an overcast day.
