"Schooner Passing A Lighthouse" is a notable painting by Alfred Wallis, an English artist known for his distinctive and primitive style. Wallis, who was born in 1855 and passed away in 1942, began painting late in life, around the age of 70, after the death of his wife. His works are celebrated for their raw, untrained quality and their evocative portrayal of maritime life, reflecting his own experiences as a fisherman and marine scrap merchant.

The painting "Schooner Passing A Lighthouse" exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to art, characterized by a lack of formal perspective and a childlike simplicity. Wallis often used found materials, such as pieces of cardboard and scraps of wood, as canvases for his paintings, which adds a layer of texture and authenticity to his work. This particular piece captures a schooner—a type of sailing vessel—navigating the waters near a lighthouse, a common and significant motif in Wallis's oeuvre, symbolizing guidance and safety for seafarers.

Wallis's use of color in "Schooner Passing A Lighthouse" is both bold and restrained, with a limited palette that emphasizes the stark contrast between the sea, the sky, and the solid structure of the lighthouse. His brushwork is direct and unrefined, contributing to the overall sense of immediacy and movement in the scene. The painting's composition, while seemingly simplistic, conveys a deep understanding of the maritime environment and the relationship between man-made structures and the natural world.

Alfred Wallis's work, including "Schooner Passing A Lighthouse," 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. Today, Wallis is regarded as a significant figure in British folk art, and his works are held in high esteem for their authenticity, emotional depth, and unique perspective on the maritime life of Cornwall.
