This painting is one of the best depictions of the turbulence of the North Sea off the North Tyneside coast. It dates from after 1879, which was when the Cullercoats Watch House (the building with the bell tower towards the left-hand side of the painting) was built for the local Volunteer Life Brigade. The row of houses is Bank Top, where the great American artist Winslow Homer had his studio in 1881–1882. Before becoming a professional artist, John Falconar Slater worked as a bookkeeper at his father's corn mill, and then ran a store in the diamond fields of South Africa. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1889 and 1936, and his work is particularly strong at depicting the different moods of the North Sea coast. Regarded as one of the finest maritime painters of the period, he was nicknamed the 'weatherproof artist' for his practice of painting outdoors in all conditions.
