EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cutty Sark, a legendary tall ship and iconic symbol of the golden age of sail, is brilliantly captured in this exquisite watercolour painting by A.F.D. Bannister, created in 1931. The Cutty Sark, a British clipper ship, was built in Scotland in 1869 and was one of the fastest and most beautiful vessels of her time. Named after the witch from Robert Burns' poem 'Tam O' Shanter,' she was known for her distinctive black hull and distinctive foremast with a figurehead of the witch in a red shawl. Bannister's painting masterfully portrays the Cutty Sark in full sail, gracefully cutting through the water as she sets off on another voyage. The artist expertly renders the intricate details of the ship's rigging, the billowing sails, and the undulating waves. The vibrant blues and greens of the water contrast beautifully with the rich, dark tones of the ship's hull, creating a stunning visual effect. This watercolour painting is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that once plied their trade on its vast expanse. The Cutty Sark, with her elegant lines and powerful presence, continues to captivate audiences and inspire artists to this day. This beautiful work of art is a must-have for any maritime enthusiast or collector of fine art.
