"The barque Sumatra of Llanelly approaching the South Stack Lighthouse" is a maritime painting by the notable 19th-century British artist William H. Yorke. Yorke, who was renowned for his detailed and evocative portrayals of ships and seascapes, created this work to capture the essence of maritime life during the era of sail. The painting depicts the barque Sumatra, a type of sailing vessel, as it navigates the waters near the South Stack Lighthouse, a prominent navigational landmark located on the northwest coast of Anglesey, Wales.

The South Stack Lighthouse, built in 1809, has long been a critical aid to navigation for vessels traversing the treacherous waters of the Irish Sea. Yorke's painting not only highlights the architectural significance of the lighthouse but also emphasizes the skill and bravery of sailors who navigated these perilous waters. The barque Sumatra, hailing from Llanelly (now known as Llanelli), a coastal town in Wales, is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Yorke's mastery in rendering the intricate rigging and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow on the ship's sails and hull.

Yorke's work is celebrated for its historical accuracy and artistic quality, providing a window into the maritime heritage of the 19th century. The painting is a testament to the era's shipbuilding prowess and the vital role of lighthouses in ensuring the safety of maritime navigation. Through his art, Yorke immortalizes the enduring relationship between man, sea, and the vessels that bridged distant shores. This painting is a significant piece within Yorke's oeuvre, reflecting his deep understanding of maritime subjects and his ability to convey the majesty and peril of the sea.
