The light beamed out of the squally sky, and falls upon the cathedral and churches of Antwerp, making them shine as if built of pearls. The freedom and mastery in the painting of the sea, and the buoyancy of the fine frigate and other vessels, give extraordinary life and movement to the scene. This, like most of the others, was purchased of Turner by Mr Bicknell. It was in size 35 by 48 Inches painted and exhibited in 1833.
