Henry Thomson [1773-1843], 'Distress by Sea' (from James Thomson's poem 'The Seasons'), the National Trust.

Sad on a jutting eminence he sits,

And views the main that ever toils below,

Still fondly forming in the distant verge,

Ships dim discover'd dropping from the clouds.

At evening, to the setting sun he turns

A mournful eye, and down his dying heart

Sinks helpless.

Description

Prospero stands in the centre, in a cave, his back to the viewer, but towards Miranda on his right. Ferdinand approaches them from the beach with signs of a shipwreck behind whilst the spirit Ariel hovers above in the sky, playing music. It depicts the second scene in the first Act of the play after the daughter has declared: 'If by your art, my dearest father, you have / Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them.'
