The artwork titled “Straits of Belle Isle,” created by the artist William Bradford, is associated with the Romanticism art movement and classified under the marina genre.
The artwork depicts a serene maritime scene characterized by large, majestic icebergs dominating the tranquil waters of the straits. A small boat with figures aboard navigates the calm sea, dwarfed by the towering ice formations. The subtle play of light and shadow over the icebergs accentuates their grandeur and the tranquility of the setting. The coloration and calm atmosphere evoke a sense of awe and tranquility, typical of the Romanticism movement. The composition captures the vastness and solemn beauty of the natural landscape.
