“The Commencement of the Deluge”, by William Westall
I thought William Westall’s “The Commencement of the Deluge” might be a nice complement to the Crystal Wagner “Deluge” installation I posted about a few days ago.
Westall’s great adventure was a voyage of exploration under Matthew Flinders, on a ship called Investigator, which took him from England to South Africa, and on to Australia. Westall took a good deal of artistic license w/his illustrations.
The painting is in the Tate.
