Nocturne - blue and gold - Southampton Water

ID: #6184 | Impressionism | Sea and ships

This painting is an impressionistic depiction where the subject matter is the seemingly simple effects of light on a body of water. A very diffuse light, perhaps emanating from the moon or sun, reflecting on the still surface is dominant here. The image appears dark and has dull, almost sad colour tones with a predominantly green and blue palette. Stylistically, this is a work that combines elements of impressionism and abstraction, with the objects not clearly defined and creating an atmosphere rather than a specific scene.

James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903). Native American with British roots. He tried to make his art personal and reflective of himself. He strived for harmony and consistency, trying to connect painting and music. His most famous painting is a much admired portrait of Whistler’s Mother, Anna McNeill Whistler, expressing the beauty of motherhood.
