The artwork titled “Labrador Mountain and Icebergs by Light of the Midnight Sun” was created by William Bradford in 1882 and belongs to the marina genre.
The artwork showcases a serene and ethereal scene, illuminated by the soft, warm glow of the midnight sun. In the foreground, calm waters reflect the golden hues of the sky, providing a tranquil mirror for the seafaring vessels with their sails gently catching the breeze. Jagged, rugged mountains, with their imposing presence, stand watch over the scene, while massive icebergs, rendered in cool tones, add a striking contrast against the backdrop of the mountain. The sky, painted with subtle clouds and rich colors, enhances the sense of a fleeting, enchanting moment captured at the cusp of the Arctic night. The overall composition brilliantly conveys a sense of peaceful isolation and the natural beauty of the northern landscape.
