John le Capetain - Landscape painter
Jersey 34p Stamp issued 1987
Le Capetain has depicted the landscape in an expansive and somewhat threatening manner in this painting, as the sea waves smash into the coastline - no peaceful coves or sandy beaches here. The people in this painting appear to be quite calm, but you feel as though they may be swept away by the overwheming strength of the waves - they would just disappear from the painting in a few seconds. Again, it's really misty, but we still see enough of the landscape to be impressed by it.
This is the second in this series of five 1987 Jersey Christmas stamps that I've managed to collect.
