EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning pastel print captures the Merchant vessels Naneric, Burma and Tunisian in harbour in 1918, with a vibrant rainbow stretching across the sky beyond. The artist, John Everett, has depicted these ships adorned in Dazzle camouflage, a technique developed by Norman Wilkinson to protect British merchant ships from German U-boat attacks during World War I.
The scene is filled with movement and color as the paddle wheel steamers sit peacefully in port. The intricate details of each vessel are beautifully rendered, showcasing the skill and precision of Everett's work. The soft pastel hues create a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos of war.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when these ships were vital lifelines for trade and transportation. The rainbow symbolizes hope and resilience in the face of adversity, reminding us that even during dark times, there is always light on the horizon.
This piece serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served at sea during wartime and honors their bravery and dedication. It is a testament to the power of art to capture moments in history and evoke emotion within viewers for generations to come.
