![Claude-Joseph Vernet - A Landscape at Sunset [1773] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vRoO5Tm-1RDvaUlmcBsBBSi2iFiZBcBgfi_nbjwaDfRHP8X0e3R_3h6VxNv2vF_ZQsjbO9MbR_mcePmt7ndMBohDxAB92krpssWl5zJZTB8uigTHJgK2w5NaNRODP8fJM=s0-d)
This composition shows a port bathed in glowing evening sunshine. The mood is one of serenity, yet the painting is full of details of activities and the effects of light are rendered with breathtaking delicacy. This painting and its pendant, A Shipwreck in Stormy Seas are now the only such pair to be found in a British public collection.
[Oil on canvas, 114.5 x 163.5 cm]
