A Seaport at Sunset is a 1749 oil painting on canvas by the French artist Claude-Joseph Vernet. It depicts a sea port, and presumably a war scene. A lightouse is visible, at the center right, while several people are on land, and a number of ships on sea, engaged on combat, with cannons smoke visible, are at the left. It is held at the Timken Museum of Art, in San Diego. [1]
