EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of a Deal Lugger bravely venturing into treacherous waters to reach a storm-bound ship in the Downs, off the South Foreland on the Kent coast. Painted by Thomas Buttersworth, an English artist from the 18th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 30.4x40.6 cm and is currently housed in a private collection at eRoyal Exchange Art Gallery in Cork Street, London. The painting showcases the heroic efforts of these courageous sailors as they navigate through towering waves crashing against their sturdy vessel. The stormy skies overhead add to the sense of urgency and danger surrounding this daring rescue mission. Set against a picturesque beach backdrop along England's coastline, this maritime artwork not only highlights Buttersworth's exceptional talent but also pays homage to the bravery and selflessness exhibited by those who risk their lives to save others at sea. With its impeccable attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow, this piece transports viewers back to a time when lifeboats were essential for coastal communities like Deal. It serves as a timeless reminder of humanity's unwavering spirit in times of adversity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historic painting through their fine art reproduction services, allowing admirers worldwide to appreciate its significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
