This painting titled "The English Channel From the Dorsetshire Cliffs" is by the English artist John Brett (1830-1902) and is housed in the Tate Gallery in London, where it is described this: It depicts the English Channel seen from the Dorset Cliffs, looking directly into a sun partly obscured by clouds and distributing its rays across the surface of the shimmering sea. It is these atmospheric and optical effects that Brett was interested in, not the detail of the scene. The boats were added late in the painting process.
