Description
“Currituck Beach Lighthouse” by P. Buckley Moss is a rare, limited-edition piece that beautifully captures the iconic Currituck Beach Lighthouse in North Carolina, a historic landmark along the Outer Banks. This artwork features the majestic red-brick lighthouse towering against a serene backdrop of greenery, symbolizing both the strength and enduring spirit of the coast. The lighthouse, built in 1875, is known for its distinctive unpainted brick structure, which sets it apart from other lighthouses along the East Coast.
In the foreground, Moss includes a spirited horse, adding a touch of life and movement to the scene. This inclusion speaks to the rich history of the Outer Banks, an area known for its wild horses, believed to be descendants of Spanish mustangs brought to the region centuries ago. The horse’s inquisitive expression and elegant stance evoke a sense of freedom and connection to the natural landscape, reflecting Moss’s ability to merge nature with architecture in her art.
This piece is ideal for admirers of coastal art, lighthouse enthusiasts, and collectors of P. Buckley Moss’s work. The combination of historic architecture and a graceful equine figure makes “Currituck Beach Lighthouse” a striking tribute to North Carolina’s coastal heritage. The soft color palette, detailed brushwork, and careful attention to the textures of both the lighthouse and the horse make this print a calming yet powerful addition to any home or gallery
Currituck Beach Lighthouse was first lighted on December 1, 1875. It’s beacon filled the last “dark spot” along the coast of North Carolina between Cape Henry and Bodie Island. The light was automated in 1939. Unpainted bricks make the structure unique in the region.
