Born in 1851, Wyllie was a prolific painter and etcher whose works vividly captured the essence of nautical life and the dynamic interplay between vessels and the sea. His artistic career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period during which he gained acclaim for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of maritime scenes.

"Making Ready For The Start" exemplifies Wyllie's mastery in portraying the intricate details and the bustling activity associated with seafaring. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to the rigging, sails, and the overall preparation of ships, likely in anticipation of a race or a significant voyage. Wyllie's ability to convey the tension and excitement of such moments is evident in the composition and the lively portrayal of the crew's efforts.

The artwork reflects Wyllie's deep understanding of nautical practices and his keen observation skills, which he honed through extensive firsthand experience and study. His works often feature a blend of realism and romanticism, capturing both the technical precision of maritime operations and the broader, more poetic aspects of life at sea.

Wyllie's contributions to marine art have been widely recognized, and his works are held in high esteem in various collections, including those of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and the Royal Academy of Arts.
