Sam Bough RSA RSW 1822-1878
Overview
The Dreadnought from Greenwich Stairs - Sun Sinking into Vapours, exhibited 2014 - SOLD
Bough frequently painted the coast and it was as much the fisherfolk that drew him as the picturesque villages and boats. One of Bough's great strengths, and passions, was the observation of weather and cloud formation. So excited was he by painting the weather that he would obtain reliable forecasts from one of the principal fishmongers of Edinburgh.
