"After the Equinoxial, off Sandy Hook" is a marine painting by the American artist Francis Augustus Silva, who was known for his luminist seascapes. Silva, active during the latter half of the 19th century, was a part of the second generation of the Hudson River School, and his works are characterized by their attention to detail, serene compositions, and the use of light to create atmospheric effects.

This particular painting, as suggested by its title, depicts the aftermath of an equinoctial storm—a type of storm that occurs around the time of an equinox—off the coast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The scene likely captures the tranquil yet somber mood following the storm's passage, with Silva's signature luminist qualities highlighting the interplay of light on water and sky. The painting would be representative of Silva's interest in the natural beauty and maritime subjects of the American Northeastern coast.

While the exact date of creation for "After the Equinoxial, off Sandy Hook" is not specified, Silva's active period suggests it would have been produced sometime between the 1860s and his death in 1886. Silva's works are appreciated for their historical value, providing insight into the American coastal environment of the time, as well as for their artistic merit, contributing to the broader genre of American landscape painting.

As a notable work by Francis Augustus Silva, "After the Equinoxial, off Sandy Hook" would be of interest to scholars of American art history, particularly those studying the Hudson River School and Luminism.
