EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "The Ship Fleetwing, Hong Kong Bay" showcases the remarkable talent of artist Sung Lai. The artwork, measuring 66.0 x 89.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The focal point of this mesmerizing piece is the majestic Fleetwing, a trading brig constructed by Richard Jones at Borth y Gest in 1874. Commanded by J. W. Guest, this vessel was renowned for its maritime prowess and played a significant role in trade along the shores of Asia. Sung Lai's brushstrokes beautifully capture the essence of Hong Kong Bay as it glistens under the warm sunlight. The ship stands tall with its masts reaching towards the sky while elegantly moored amidst tranquil waters. This painting not only celebrates China's rich sailing heritage but also pays homage to the bustling merchant activity that characterized Hong Kong Bay during this era. Its sails billow gracefully against a backdrop of coastal beauty and shoreline charm. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when seafaring vessels like Fleetwing dominated these waters with their cargo-laden decks and adventurous spirit. "The Ship Fleetwing, Hong Kong Bay" serves as both an artistic marvel and historical testament to an era long gone but forever preserved within Sung Lai's skillful strokes on canvas.
