The painting entitled Rescue Near Souter Point by James Cleet. The painting shows people gathered on the cliffs and beach at Marsden, South Shields, by James Cleet. They are looking over to where small boats seem to be in trouble. Even in good weather, the strong currents made this a dangerous area. Souter Lighthouse was built in 1871 (slightly to the left of this view) to warn ships of the danger. The bright colours, sharp outlines and rather naive style of this composition are typical of James Cleet's paintings. He was a professional photographer who painted in his spare time. Buy this as a framed art print, canvas art print or art poster.
