"Shipping Entering Harbour" is a notable painting by Alfred Wallis, an English artist renowned for his distinctive and primitive style that captures the essence of maritime life. 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 the Cornish coast and seafaring activities, reflecting his own experiences as a fisherman and marine scrap merchant.

"Shipping Entering Harbour" exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to art, characterized by a lack of formal perspective and a childlike simplicity that conveys a deep sense of place and emotion. The painting typically features a bustling scene of boats navigating their way into a harbour, rendered in Wallis's signature style with bold, flat areas of color and simplified forms. His use of household paint on found materials, such as cardboard and pieces of wood, adds to the textural and tactile quality of his work.

Wallis's art was largely self-taught and driven by his personal connection to the sea, which is evident in the authenticity and immediacy of his maritime scenes. "Shipping Entering Harbour" captures the dynamic movement of vessels and the everyday life of coastal communities, offering a glimpse into the working lives of fishermen and the rhythms of the sea.

Discovered by the art world in the 1920s, Wallis's work gained recognition through the efforts of artists such as Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who admired his unpretentious and heartfelt depictions of nautical themes. Today, Alfred Wallis is regarded as a significant figure in British art, and "Shipping Entering Harbour" remains a testament to his unique vision and enduring legacy in the realm of naïve art.
