"I love lighthouses. The severe, uncompromising life of service lived by lonely
lighthouse keepers possesses a special dignity. Poised between the last
outcroppings of land and the vast expanse of the ocean, the lighthouse has
become a profound symbol of human life, poised as it is between the transitory
and the eternal." - Thomas Kinkade

Seaside artworks are one of Thomas Kinkade's most popular subjects. The call of the
ocean and crashing waves on rocky cliffs appeal to those who love the sea
such as Navy sailors, Merchant Marines, Coast Guard, and anyone who has ever challenged
the sea in a boat or ship. |
Victorian Light (Seaside Memories VII)
Victorian Light is the seventh lighthouse painting in Thomas Kinkade's very popular Seaside Memories series.
Victorian Light is Thomas Kinkade's first lighthouse painting to feature a Victorian home instead of
a cottage that usually accompany his lighthouses.
Victorian Light features 5 hidden N's in tribute to his wife, Nanette.

+++++ And this is what Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
There's something about our captivating California coast that intrigues and
delights me. Whenever I set up my easel along the shore, my imagination takes
flight.
When I began to paint this imposing lighthouse, I was lost in reverie. What
would it be like, I wondered, if the keeper's house were more than the humble
cottage that met my eyes? What if, instead, it matched the tower in grandeur
and dignity?
I began to paint the answer to my questions, creating a scene that merges two
of my great passions - elegant Victorian mansions and stalwart lighthouses.
Here, in Victorian Light, is the wonderfully civilized formal grace of a
great mansion married to the primal strength of a light tower.
Lighthouse keepers are notoriously lonely; their devotion to their duty is
like a religious calling that cuts them off from communion with their fellow
men. That's always bothered me a little; to me the lighthouse is a symbol of
hope that should comfort us all.
That's why I've given this lighthouse keeper a home I would love to visit.
The graceful filigreed cupolas, the white picket fence, the charming gazebo
extending out over the water, the warm glow at twilight - it all says to me:
"Welcome. This beacon of faith is yours to share."
~~Thomas Kinkade

Did you know....
~~~Althought Thom mentions the California Coast in his write up
about this painting, the lighthouse this most resembles is Annisquam Light
of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Remember the fabulous movie "The Perfect
Storm?"
~~~This Lighthouse was erected to to help mariners from running aground by
the US Government.
~~~In 1801 the United States government bought the property from the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts for $140. A 32-foot wooden tower and a wood
framed keeper's house were built, and the house still stands with some
modifications. According to some sources, though, the original keeper's house
was a small one-room wooden house, painted red ~~ (Just as it is in Victorian
Light)
~~~The present 41-foot Federal-style brick tower was built in 1897. In 1922
the kerosene-fueled light and fifth order Fresnel lens were removed and
replaced by an electrified fourth order lens. The new light increased
Annisquam Light's brightness from 1,300 candlepower to 250,000 candlepower.
~~~The lighthouse was automated in 1974. A controversy erupted that year when
the Coast Guard removed the fog signal. Local boaters and fishermen
complained, and one collected thousands of signatures on a petition to save
the fog signal. Some said the Coast Guard was silencing the signal to appease
tourists. "To hell with the tourists," said one fisherman, "They don't go
fishing. We need that horn when we're coming in, especially when our radar
breaks down."
