"Shipping Off A Harbour Wall With Lighthouse" is a painting by Alfred Wallis (1855–1942), a British fisherman and artist associated with the St Ives School in Cornwall. Wallis is known for his naive style of marine painting, reflecting his deep connection with the sea and his experiences as a mariner. This particular work, like many of his paintings, depicts a maritime scene, characterized by its simplistic representation of boats and the sea, and the use of perspective that disregards conventional techniques.

The painting captures a bustling harbour scene, with ships depicted in various states of activity, likely inspired by Wallis's memories of his time at sea. The inclusion of a lighthouse within the composition is a common motif in Wallis's work, symbolizing guidance and safety for the ships and sailors. The artwork is executed with the limited palette and the recycled materials Wallis often employed, such as cardboard, ship paint, and household paint, which he applied using unconventional tools like his fingers or the back end of a brush.

Alfred Wallis's work gained recognition when it was discovered by artists Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who were instrumental in bringing his art to the attention of the wider art community. "Shipping Off A Harbour Wall With Lighthouse" is representative of Wallis's contribution to British art, particularly within the context of the naive art movement, and his influence on the development of modern British art. The painting is appreciated for its raw and expressive quality, as well as its historical value as a document of the maritime culture that was so integral to Wallis's life and the community of St Ives.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to the ongoing interest in and study of Alfred Wallis's unique artistic vision. As with many of Wallis's paintings, "Shipping Off A Harbour Wall With Lighthouse" is not only a work of art but also a cultural artifact that offers insight into the maritime history and the artistic milieu of early 20th-century Cornwall.
