Lougen, March 1801 | Conrad Christian Parnemann | 19th Century
Taxes included
Three sailing vessels occupy a clear coastal setting, their hulls and intricate rigging sharply outlined against pale blue sky. The broadside view allows the ships’ construction and sail plans to be read with unusual clarity, while the low shoreline and distant hills establish the Caribbean setting. Parnemann’s depiction of Lougen’s action in March 1801 combines the descriptive precision of a ship portrait with the narrative of an engagement. Brief clouds of gun smoke punctuate an otherwise remarkably clear and spacious composition.
