About the piece
Created in 1764 by Richard Wright, this masterful oil painting, 'The Fishery,' captures the intense drama of the high seas. The composition is defined by the high-contrast lighting of a storm break, illuminating the intricate rigging of the ships and the white foam of the waves. It serves as a classic example of British marine art, balancing natural power with refined technical detail.
