“Mohegan Harbor,” created by Frank Mason in 1997, is a notable piece belonging to the Classical Realism art movement and falls within the “marina” genre.
The artwork vividly captures a turbulent seascape with dark, stormy clouds looming above and forceful waves crashing against what appears to be a rocky outcrop. The palette is dominated by deep blues, greens, and grays, effectively conveying the intensity and raw power of the ocean in a storm. The brushwork is vigorous, expressing the dynamic movement of the water. The play of light and shadow enhances the drama of the scene, capturing the viewer’s attention and evoking the awe-inspiring force of nature.
