John Wilson Carmichael was a painter of seascapes and landscapes in oil and watercolor. Born in Newcastle to a shipwright, he knew boats well. He later moved to London, retiring near the sea at Scarborough.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1835 and 1859, also at the British Institution and Suffolk Street, and at the Northern Academy of Arts in Blackett Street, Newcastle, close to his studio.
Carmichael traveled to Holland, Italy and the Baltic. He went to sea to take part officially in the Crimean War for the Illustrated London News. He was one of the most appreciated and respected marine and landscape artists of the mid-19th century. His works are notably preserved at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
Carmichael was a prolific artist who also produced drawings and engravings for British newspapers. The painter paid particular attention to the depiction of his luminous skies and light. His compositions, in which a calm, serene atmosphere reigns, are bathed in an almost unreal golden light. There's a romantic, even fantastical quality to the contrast between calm, harmless nature and the bustle of human activity.
