Famous arts from 18 century Art 9\10: Fishermen at Sea Artist: J.M.W. Turner Description: The Cholmeley Sea Piece, also known as Fishermen at Sea, is an early oil painting by J. M. W. Turner. The Tate Gallery has had it in their possession since 1972, while it was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1796. The dimensions of the artwork are 36 x 48.125 inches (91.44 x 122.24 centimeters). This picture was Turner’s debut at the Royal Academy. The critical reception it received in its day helped cement Turner’s status as a master of oil painting and a pioneer in the genre of maritime art. Moonlight illuminates the scene of fishermen braving rough seas near the Needles on the Isle of Wight. The tiny boat and its dim lamp represent the frailty of human life, while the vast sea and foreboding rocks in the background represent the overwhelming strength of nature. The cold brightness of the Moon at night is in stark contrast to the cozy light of the fisherman’s lantern.
