Framed oil on board (Original sold, prints available only)
This painting depicts the arrival of Ferdinand, after he is led to safety by Ariel, the servant of Prospero who is master of these shores. These events are precipitated by a storm created by Ariel, at the behest of Prospero, which drives the occupants of the depicted sailing ship to abandon their vessel unnecessarily. They are old enemies of Prospero. We see the image of innocent Miranda, Prospero's daughter, who casts her gaze on Ferdinand as he climbs from the sea. They are to fall in love and, ultimately, the play ends in happiness and reconciliation between old enemies.
