John Wilson Carmichael (1800-1868) paintings are a prime example of how a culture is reflected in what a painter chooses to capture (or what the artist believes he can find a market for). Like George Chambers, he reflects the sea-faring nature of his country, particularly showing the interface of land-based people and the ports and vessels they use to transcend their limits. Carmichael's body of work includes a couple of view of the British Navy destroying the the land interface of non-English places.
