Object history | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Notes | The many-times restored Rockets and Blue Lights, was once a painting of two steamboats in distress, not of one. The now lost boat was is recorded in a large chromolithographic copy by Robert Carrick of the painting commissioned in 1852 by the painting's then owner, and in a photograph of 1896 that was published in the Artwatch UK Journal of Summer 2005 by courtesy of Christie's. The chromolithographic copy clearly shows how the 20th-century restorers of the sky, have lost the storm-driven smoke from the funnels of the original pair of steamboats, one of which has now disappeared under the waves along with its originally depicted crew members.[1] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
