Large original oil painting of the Rooswijk shipwreck by Ralph Curnow (2009). 30" x 23¾". Beautifully executed by Penzance, Cornwall, artist Ralph Curnow (brother of one of the salvors of the Rooswijk), this oil painting shows the Rooswijk at harbor before her fateful final voyage, with two Dutch men and the stern of a beached ship in the foreground, buildings and other ships in the background, tender boat with red sails carrying cargo to the Rooswijk in the water, a very accurate rendering with particularly true waves and sea (traditionally very difficult to paint but the specialty of this artist, who emphasizes lighting and shadows), signed at bottom right, framed and ready to display. Pick up recommended; special shipping costs apply. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 5 (lot 1644). SOLD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE 1715 FLEET SOCIETY.
