A striking view of a storm's aftermath. As in all of Salmon's best pieces this work is full of people in small vignettes of activity, forming a great overall story and a superb rendering of a luminous, deep cloud-filled sky. Verso: #30 Painted by R. Salmon 1840, Sight Size: 16 x 24¼ in.
A crisp, large scale work with vivid color, great composition and excellent detail. New to the market, it was in the same family for 100+ years. Both grand and intimate, with small vignettes throughout along with a great ship’s portrait and luminous sky. One of the artist’s best. Sight: 26.5x42.5 in

A great scene of a beach rescue of sailors along the coast of Cumbria in Salmon's birthplace of Whitehaven. Salmon's characteristic luminosity and depth of field highlights his outstanding attention to detail. In very good condition and housed in a 22k period style gilt frame.
