"Keeling: A Journey Through Art, History, and Nature" Step into the world of "keeling" as we explore a diverse range of captivating scenes captured in various mediums. From a frigate heeling in an offshore gale depicted on oil canvas to Mr Hares residence on the Cocos or Keelings Islands portrayed with watercolors on paper, each artwork tells its own unique story. In one striking image, Psychiatrist Philippe Pinel releases the insane from their chains at Salpetriere, symbolizing liberation and compassion. Meanwhile, lithographs take us on an adventure through Sketches in Formosa and showcase the beauty of the Cocos-Keeling Islands along with their uncrowned king, Mr G Clunies Ross. The maritime theme continues with Shipping off Portsmouth presented in watercolors on paper. The artist skillfully captures the dynamic movement of ships amidst crashing waves. Scenes in the Keeling Cocos and Christmas Islands are brought to life through black-and-white photography, offering glimpses into these remote paradises.
