Beacon Light, Saint John Harbour
Henry Sandham · 1879
Why it's great
A sailing ship glows in dim, hazy light near the harbor of Saint John, New Brunswick. Henry Sandham painted Atlantic Canada's ports and coasts in a clear, careful way. The soft light on the water gives the scene a quiet mood. It's a calm harbor view.
