Serene nocturnal seascape by George Fotherly Hargitt (American/Scottish, 1837-1926). The San Diego harbor stretches out in front of the viewer, depicted from a vantage point above the bay. The moon hovers low above the mountains in the distance. Hargitt creates the illusion of vast distance with the skillful representation of the foreground along the lower edge. Numerous US naval Warships can be seen entering and in the Harbor.

George Hargitt (Scottish, 1837-1926) was a self-taught landscape painter. In England, he taught painting, and two of his pupils were later knighted - Sir W. Q. Orchardson and Sir John McWhirtle. In the 1870s, Hargitt immigrated to London, Ontario, Canada where he farmed in the summers and painted in the winters. In 1923, he and his wife moved to San Diego, California, where he lived until his death in 1926. less
