This vibrant original acrylic and oil painting captures the iconic Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, silhouetted against a dramatic, fiery sunset. The legendary yellow cranes, Samson and Goliath, stand tall over the docks — the historic birthplace of the RMS Titanic.
The artist, JOHN STEWART uses a rich palette of deep reds, oranges, and golds, with textured brushwork that gives the sky and water a glowing, almost molten quality. The dark silhouettes of the cranes and dock structures contrast beautifully with the intense sunset, creating a striking and atmospheric piece of maritime art.
Perfect for lovers of Titanic history, Belfast landmarks, and original nautical paintings, this artwork makes a bold statement in any home, office, or collection.
The artwork is BRAND NEW and in excellent condition.
