A Landscape at Sunset is a 1773 landscape painting by the French artist Joseph Vernet. [1] [2] It portrays a view of a harbour bathed in sunshine on a summer's day with fisherman bringing on their catch.
It was commissioned by King of Poland, Stanisław August Poniatowski as one of a pair of landscapes along with A Shipwreck in Stormy Seas . After the deal fell through, the paintings were instead bought by the British general Clive of India. Both are now in the collection of the National Gallery in London. [3]
