Behold, the sea itself, — —
And on its limitless, heaving breast, the ships; — —
See, where their white sails, bellying in the wind, — —
speckle the green and blue, — —
See, the steamers coming and going, steaming in — —
or out of port, — —
See, dusky and undulating, the long pennants of smoke. — —
—Walt Whitman, from “Song of the Exposition,” Leaves of Grass, 1900 — —
British Composer Ralph Vaughan Williams set these lines by Walt Whitman to music in his 1910 Sea Symphony. — —
As an island nation, Britain’s mercantile and imperial power, as well as its very survival, depended on naval prowess. Given its national importance, the sea has long been a favorite subject among British artists, writers, and musicians. Behold, the Sea Itself juxtaposed images of the sea and of ships with poetic texts. Spanning the late seventeenth through early twentieth centuries, this exhibition highlighted important themes in British maritime art, such as travel, trade and colonization, naval power, and the sublimity of storm and shipwreck. — —
Drawn from the Center’s collections of paintings, drawings, prints, and rare books, the exhibition featured works by Willem van de Velde the Elder, Charles Brooking, J. M. W. Turner, John Constable, and Richard Parkes Bonington. — —
Credits — —
The exhibition was curated by Zoë Kahr, PhD candidate in the History of Art, University College, London, and MBA candidate, Yale School of Management. — —

Throughout his brief career, coastal landscape would be a mainstay of Bonington’s work in both watercolors and oils. His affinity for such subjects presumably dates from his period of study with Louis Francia in Calais in 1817. Francia had fled to England as a youthful refugee from the French Revolution and become part of the circle of Thomas Girtin in London. When he met Bonington, he had just returned to his native Calais and was beginning to establish himself as a drawing master and marine painter. Francia would undoubtedly have transmitted to his young pupil an awareness of British watercolor practice and a taste for naturalistic coastal scenes, both of which were novelties in France. ---
In the autumn of 1821, while still in the atelier of Baron Gros, Bonington embarked on his first extensive sketching tour, traveling through Normandy and producing watercolors of the coast. He would leave Gros’s studio by the end of 1822. He spent most of 1824 based in Dunkerque, and though he was back in Paris in 1825, he was again sketching along the Channel coast with his artist friend Eugène Isabey in the autumn of that year. This watercolor probably derives from that time. Although the inscription on an old mount (now removed) gave the date as 1818, this is clearly a work of Bonington’s maturity, remarkably assured in its elegant and fluid use of the medium. --- ---
