John Brett - British

Off the Coast of Guernsey, 18 x 35.5 cms







Nice use of purple and yellow complementary colours.

John Brett (1831–1902) was an artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement (although is not considered to be a Pre-Raphaelite painter himself), mainly notable for his highly detailed landscapes. In his later years he painted more coastal subjects and seascapes, subjects he came to know well due to his ownership of a 210 ton schooner, Viking (which had a crew of twelve), on which he travelled the Mediterranean.
