"Fishing Boats" is a notable work by Alfred Wallis, an English artist renowned for his distinctive and primitive style of painting. Wallis, who was born in Devonport, Plymouth in 1855, spent much of his life as a mariner and fisherman, which profoundly influenced his artistic output. He began painting in his seventies, following the death of his wife, as a means of combating loneliness and reminiscing about his seafaring days.

Wallis's work is characterized by its naïve style, often eschewing traditional perspective and scale in favor of a more instinctual and expressive approach. "Fishing Boats" exemplifies this style, depicting maritime scenes with a raw and unpolished aesthetic that captures the essence of the Cornish coast and its fishing communities. Wallis typically used household paints on found materials such as cardboard and scraps of wood, which contributed to the textured and tactile quality of his pieces.

The subject matter of "Fishing Boats" reflects Wallis's intimate knowledge of the sea and his personal experiences. His depictions are not just artistic representations but are imbued with a sense of nostalgia and personal history. The boats in his paintings often appear simplified and stylized, yet they convey a strong sense of movement and life, resonating with the rhythms of the ocean.

Wallis's work gained recognition posthumously, largely due to the efforts of artists associated with the St Ives School, such as Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who discovered Wallis's paintings in the late 1920s. They admired his untrained yet evocative style and helped bring his work to a broader audience. Today, Wallis is celebrated as a significant figure in British folk art, and his paintings, including "Fishing Boats," are held in high regard for their unique contribution to the art world.
