Shipping In The Open Sea By John Wilson Carmichael (1838) Mounted & Framed Print

Very large and heavy double mounted and framed print from the original painted in 1838 by John Wilson Carmichael.

‘Shipping In The Open Sea’

Very eye catching stunning print in a very nice gold and black wooden frame.

The son of a shipwright, John Wilson Carmichael had early exposure to life at sea. As an adolescent, he spent three years on board a vessel sailing between ports in Spain and Portugal. Following his return, he was apprenticed to a shipbuilding firm. However, on completing his apprenticeship he renounced this career to pursue his artistic ambitions. He established a workshop with the landscape painter, Thomas Richardson Snr.

Over the course of the following decade, Carmichael became one of Northumbria's most respected marine artists. In the 1840s, two of his paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Frame size is 35.5” inches wide by 29.5” inches high. Print size inside double mounting / matting is 27.5” inches wide by 21.5” inches high. Very few light marks to the frame, all in excellent condition. Pre owned.

I think this weighs at least 7 kgs but has very good strong hanging eyes and cord on the back.

Due to size and weight I will post using parcelforce services.

Worldwide shipping available.

Worldwide shipping is usually tracked and signed but always signed if possible.

Any questions please feel free to ask and thanks for looking.
