About the piece
Painted in 1776 by John Webber, this serene oil work depicts the harbor of Santa Cruz, Tenerife. Webber, who served as the official artist on Captain James Cook's third voyage, captures the dramatic contrast between the sun-drenched, volcanic peaks and the tranquil Atlantic waters with a sophisticated, documentary-style precision characteristic of British maritime art.
