TW429379 Sunderland Piers, 1843, 1886 (oil on canvas) by Syer, John James (1844-1912); 61x91 cm; Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens, Tyne & Wear, UK; (add.info.: A cargo ship and two fishing boats are entering Sunderland Harbour as a storm gathers. This view is from the South Pier, its timber decking wet with rain and sea spray. The artist has chosen to use a limited range of colours, mainly browns and blues. The angle of the ships, the lines of the waves, and the windblown figures on the pier create an image full of movement. John James Syer seems to have been a local artist;); 穢 Sunderland Museums ; British, out of copyright.
