Morecambe Sands c. 1830s

David Cox's "Morecambe Sands" is a watercolor painting from the 1830s that captures the beauty of the English coast. The artist was known for his loose brushwork and atmospheric effects, which are evident in this piece. The painting depicts a sweeping view of the beach with figures walking across the sand, and a rainbow arching over the scene. Cox's skillful use of light and color evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder, making this work a prime example of Romantic-era landscape painting.
