"Steamship" is a notable painting by Alfred Wallis, an English artist who is celebrated for his distinctive and primitive style. Wallis, born in 1855 in Devonport, England, was a fisherman and marine scrap dealer before he began painting in his seventies. His works are characterized by their naïve perspective, bold use of color, and maritime themes, reflecting his intimate knowledge of the sea and ships.

"Steamship" exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to art, which was largely self-taught and uninfluenced by formal artistic conventions. The painting depicts a steam-powered vessel, a subject that Wallis frequently explored, given his background and the maritime culture of St Ives, Cornwall, where he spent much of his life. Wallis's portrayal of the steamship is both simplistic and evocative, capturing the essence of the vessel with minimal detail but a strong sense of form and movement.

The composition of "Steamship" is marked by Wallis's characteristic disregard for linear perspective, instead opting for a more direct and flattened representation. This technique gives the painting a sense of immediacy and rawness, drawing viewers into Wallis's personal vision of the maritime world. The use of color in "Steamship" is also notable, with Wallis employing a limited palette to create a striking and memorable image.

Wallis's work, including "Steamship," gained recognition posthumously, largely due to the efforts of artists and collectors associated with the St Ives School, such as Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood. They admired Wallis's unpretentious and heartfelt approach to painting, which stood in stark contrast to the more polished and academic styles of the time. Today, Alfred Wallis is regarded as a significant figure in British art, and "Steamship" remains a testament to his unique vision and contribution to the world of painting.
