This tranquil early 20th-century seascape by Nicholas Percy Fox (1870-c.1943) is a masterclass in subtle gradients to create mood.

The last rays of the evening sun drift behind clouds, producing a deep orange glow through wispy verticals. A ship’s sail, near silhouetted, juts through the layers drawing emphasis to the shifting tones.

The work is reminiscent of the tonalists who sought to convey a mood by paring down a composition. They often used muted colours and emphasized feeling rather than detail. Perhaps Fox was an admirer of this school.

Due its size, it can only be shipped within the UK.
