This original oil painting depicts fishing boats in the port of St
.... Ives in the American Impressionism style, between 1912 and 1925. The town of St Ives in the far south-west of Cornwall has grown around its picturesque harbour since it was first settled in the 6th century and was once one of the most important pilchard landing ports in Cornwall. In the background, on the northern side of the harbour is Smeaton’s Pier, constructed between 1767 and 1770. Smeaton’s Pier was originally 120 meters long with its elegant lighthouse sited at the end. However, in the 1890s the pier was extended to almost double this length and another lighthouse was added. The three arches at the land end of the pier were added during the 1890 modifications.
