Original Description
The Finishing Gun - A Regatta Of The Royal Clyde Yacht Club by William Clark (1858–1942) is a vibrant maritime masterpiece capturing the exhilarating climax of a yacht race. Painted in 1888, this dynamic composition brims with Victorian-era sporting enthusiasm, showcasing Clark's mastery of marine painting and his ability to translate the energy of competitive sailing onto canvas. The work depicts the precise moment when the starting gun fires, with billowing sails, choppy waters, and elegantly dressed spectators creating a palpable sense of anticipation. As one of Scotland's foremost marine artists, Clark's precise draughtsmanship and atmospheric effects place this work among the finest examples of British sporting art from the late 19th century. The painting holds particular significance in art history as it documents the golden age of yachting while exemplifying the transition from traditional maritime documentation to more impressionistic representations of seascapes. Its combination of technical accuracy and artistic flair makes it an important bridge between academic and modern approaches to marine painting.
For interior decoration, this majestic painting would command attention as a focal point in traditional or nautical-themed spaces. Its rich blues and warm earth tones pair beautifully with mahogany furniture, brass accents, and navy upholstery in a study or yacht club-inspired office. Consider hanging it horizontally above a fireplace mantel or console table to emphasize the panoramic race scene, with dimensions ideally between 90-120cm wide to maintain visual impact without overwhelming the space. In coastal homes, the maritime subject matter naturally complements driftwood finishes and crisp white walls, while the artwork's historical elegance would elevate corporate offices or private libraries. Balance its energetic composition with simpler furnishings and allow 10-15cm of wall clearance around the frame to let the detailed brushwork shine. The painting's dynamic diagonal lines work particularly well in rectangular rooms, where they can visually expand the space.
