Morning After a Heavy Gale is an oil painting by the British artist Edward William Cooke, from 1857. A seascape, it depicts the morning after a heavy storm, depicting the pilot boat and lifeboat of Ramsgate, in Kent, going to the assistance of an East Indiaman floundering in the Goodwin Sands, in the English Channel.[1]
Cooke was a follower although never a formal pupil of the marine painter Clarkson Frederick Stanfield.[2][3] The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1857 at the National Gallery in London. Today it is in the Dallas Museum of Art.[4]
