About the piece

This evocative oil painting by Albert Julius Olsson depicts Canadian motor torpedo boats returning to Dover Harbour under the cover of night. Olsson's masterful technique is evident in the luminous treatment of the churning white water and the dramatic interplay between the dark, heavy clouds and the piercing beams of moonlight that cut through the scene.
