About the Item
This evocative oil on canvas depicts a majestic tall ship pressing forward under full sail, its crisp white canvas set against a dramatic, cloud-laden sky and rolling blue sea. Painted in 1984 by John Richard Perry, the composition captures the quiet power and grace of square-rigged sailing vessels, with careful attention paid to rigging, hull form, and the shifting movement of the water beneath. The ship is shown advancing steadily across open ocean, creating a timeless image that speaks to endurance, navigation, and the romance of the age of sail.
Perry was known for his ability to balance historical accuracy with strong decorative appeal, and this work is a fine example of that approach. The layered blues of the sea are rendered with subtle tonal variation, suggesting depth and motion, while the sky transitions from lighter tones near the horizon to heavier clouds above, heightening the sense of atmosphere. The ship itself is crisply articulated, standing in clear relief against its surroundings, and serves as a powerful focal point within the composition.
The painting is signed and dated by the artist at the lower left and is presented in a complementary molded frame that enhances its visual presence. It is in nice vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and normal use. Any minor surface or frame wear is in keeping with a work of this period and does not detract from its overall presentation. A classic piece well suited for collectors of maritime art, nautical interiors, or anyone drawn to traditional seafaring imagery. 24h x 30w x 2d
