The Pride is the “pride” of Baltimore and has the duty of being an ambassador for the city in the world. The Virginian is often accompanying the Pride for big events, as it represents Virginia. The bridge in the background, the Francis Scott Key Bridge, was knocked down by a big ship shortly after this event. So the painting is truly historic. I loved the light on the sails and the moving cloud banks, causing shafts of sunlight on the water and ships, while distant dark cloud banks, made the sails look even brighter!
