Lighthouse Symbolism

Lighthouses are important fixtures of the sea, found near ports to help guide ships to safety. They symbolise human presence and safety. The light beaming from the top of the lighthouse warms mariners of the dangers of the shallow and rocky coasts. Otherwise, should a sailor steer too close, their water vessel could be damaged by the coast. Because of they have come to symbolise safety by the sea which makes lighthouse art perfect for your home.

Lighthouse Architecture

Lighthouses have a universally consistent structure, and they are always found in remote places. Long in structure, lighthouses are usually always painted white. They’re built to withstand the harshest and extreme environments. Inside, lighthouses have a long spiralling staircase to lead the lighthouse caretaker to the very top of the structure.

Famous Lighthouses

There are some famous lighthouses around Australia and the world. While most lighthouses look similar, perhaps the most unusual structure was created by the Russian engineer Vladimir Grigorievich in 1911. In Japan, the Enoshima Sea Candle is stark in its unique design. In Australia, the oldest lighthouse is located in the Otway, Victoria, and it is called Cape Otway Lighthouse. Thesefamous designs have no doubt been used for lighthouse paintings.
