Fresh Breeze of Sandy Hook 1860

"Fresh Breeze of Sandy Hook" (1860) by William Bradford is a marine painting depicting a fleet of ships sailing across the Atlantic Ocean at sunset. Bradford, known for his detailed depictions of maritime scenes, captures the dramatic light of the setting sun illuminating the billowing sails and the rippling surface of the water. The scene is filled with a sense of movement and energy, as the ships make their way across the vast expanse of the sea. The painting is a testament to Bradford's mastery of light and composition, and his keen observation of the natural world.
