Gordale Scar by James Ward
one of the most powerful paintings i seen in a while. i saw it in person at the tate britian and it was huge and just confronts you in the face.

Gordale Scar by James Ward reminds me a lot of Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing The Alps by William Turner.

Look at how the clouds affect the colour of the sun and how a huge wave bares down on them, like the constant burden of their mission.

Loving the Robert Payton Reids and Joao is insane!!! That is crazy..I had to literally look at it three times because I never realized it was salt and mirrors even though it was stated.

 

[Style-Addict]

That James Ward painting is incredible- I can't imagine standing in front it it, being so huge and all. It seems very imposing and like it forces you to think deeply. wonderful painting.
