Harbour & Port

Memorial painting, Sally Miller

The harbour is where the sea meets commerce. Painters crowded the quay with masts, cranes, and bales, catching the busy edge between land and water at first light or under a setting sun, and Claude Lorrain made the idealised port, glowing and golden, a subject in its own right.
