Edward Middleton Manigault artwork entitled The Rocket from 1909. Spectacular historical firework display.
The Rocket is an oil on canvas painting by Edward Middleton Manigault. It depicts a fireworks display over water, in the fall of 1909 on the Hudson River. The painting shows an intense, almost fauvist color palette. In the middle of a radiant circle of light reflecting on the water, a boat can be seen, filled with people viewing the fireworks from the river. Edward Middleton Manigault (1887–1922) was considered an experimental, visionary artist and today he is seen as an early representative of the Modernist movement from Canada and America. He was born in London, Ontario. The artist may have been inspired by the sight of firework displays along the Hudson River in the fall of 1909, commemorating Henry Hudson's discovery of the river in 1609 and the launching of Robert Fulton's steamboat Clermont in 1807. This was one of the first steamboats, and the first one to float on the Hudson - Wikipedia
