Here's a painting that I have loved ever since I first discovered it through the Internet -- Becalmed off Halfway Rock, 1860, by American painter Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865)
The National Gallery of Art, where "Becalmed off Halfway Rock, possesses two other works by Lane --
- New York Harbor, 1852
You can find numerous other fine paintings by this artist by consulting Fitz Hugh Lane Online.
I love the way he controls the ligtht in his paintings.
