Rede van Vlissingen, an 18th‑century oil painting by Thomas Luny (1759–1837), a classic seascape from the United Kingdom, is sold with a frame, measures 115 × 158 cm with frame, is hand‑signed and in good condition.
Description from the seller
Thomas Luny (1759-1837) was an English artist from Cornwall. He was a pupil of the marine painter Francis Holman (1729–1784). Luny is best known for his seascapes. During his career he probably had the opportunity to be a guest on several ships that carried him, among other places, to Naples, Gibraltar and Charleston (South Carolina).
This artwork shows several sailing ships on a rough sea. In particular, the dark clouds, tall waves and tilted ships create a threatening and exciting atmosphere. The artist paid a lot of attention to the weather and the movement of the water: the foaming waves and full sails almost make you feel how hard the wind blows. The large dark sails in the foreground immediately draw the eye, while the smaller ships and the coast in the distance add depth.
Dimensions with frame: 115 x 158 cm
Dimensions without frame: 86 x 129 cm
The work is viewable in our gallery. Furthermore, Art Dumay has a framers’ workshop (this year their 85th anniversary) and a restoration atelier. So if you would like to make use of these services, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
