Frederick William Jackson

Frederick William Jackson painted quiet scenes along the Yorkshire coast, especially at the harbor town of Whitby. His watercolours like Fishing Cobles, Whitby show fishing boats pulled up on the shore and the soft light of a working port. It’s a slice of late Victorian coastal life, all damp skies and salt-stained wood.

See how he captures the textures of ropes and hulls without a single tourist in sight. Tap Fishing Cobles to step into the scene.
