EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print captures the beauty of Woody Point on Vancouver Island, Canada, as seen on July 8th, 1851. Painted by Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe during his Pacific voyage in the mid-19th century, this artwork is a true masterpiece of maritime art.
Woody Point, named by Captain Cook himself during his exploration of the coast in 1778, is depicted here from a south-western perspective as Fanshawe's ship sailed north towards Beaver Harbour. The detailed brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring to life the rugged coastline and serene waters of this picturesque location.
Fanshawe's skillful portrayal of the boat sailing through the harbor adds a sense of movement and adventure to the scene. The soft hues of blue and green create a peaceful atmosphere that transports viewers back in time to experience the majesty of nature in its purest form.
As one gazes upon this painting, they can almost feel the salty breeze on their face and hear the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. It serves as a reminder of both the timeless beauty of our natural world and the incredible talent possessed by artists like Fanshawe who sought to capture it for future generations to enjoy.
