is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Edward Calvert, showcasing the bustling maritime activity of 19th century England. The artwork measures 35.6x50.8 cm and belongs to a private collection. In this exquisite piece, Calvert masterfully captures the essence of a vibrant seaport scene off the coast of Ryde, located on the picturesque Isle of Wight. The viewer is transported back in time to an era when sailboats gracefully glided through azure waters while steamships with paddle wheels chugged alongside them. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays various types of boats - from rowboats gently bobbing in the water to majestic sailing vessels elegantly cutting through waves. A tugboat can also be seen guiding larger ships towards their destinations, symbolizing the indispensable role it played in transportation during that period. Calvert's use of color adds depth and vitality to the painting, with each hue meticulously chosen to bring life to every stroke of his brush. The warm tones evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when Britain was at its zenith as an industrial powerhouse. "Shipping off Ryde" not only showcases Calvert's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into history, offering us glimpses into the daily lives and means of transport that defined this pivotal time in British maritime heritage. This remarkable artwork truly exemplifies why Calvert remains one of England's most celebrated painters from the 19th century.
