DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy the views the clipper Southern Cross saw on leaving Colonial Boston Harbor; an 1870 New York Yacht Club race; and many more scenes unforgettable to lovers of art and sailing alike.. This collection of breathtaking paintings by five world-class marine artists -- in oversize, full-color gallery-quality reproductions -- features such immortals as the Bounty, the Pinta, and the Nina
"A superb portrait of the classic age of sail" according to Bruce Trinque. The clarity and color of the reproductions of marine paintings in this book are nothing less than superb. While the individual styles and, to some extent, the specific subject matter of the five artists vary, I find it impossible to single out any one of them as being "better" than the others. Each is a highly talented artist who brings the past to life in a most convincing manner. While men-of-war are probably the most frequent subject of the paintings in this book, merchant . Richard P. Fuller said A Very good resource. I felt the forward was a bit awkward. But, past that, I was able to really get into the artwork and the stories behind each by the artist Many of the artworks are available for viewing on the internet, but most I saw for the first time on these pages. And what a group of artists there were! I heartily recommend this book to anyone into shiplore or simply maritime art.. appletea said The Tall Ship in Art. This is the greatest book I ever found about ancient ship painting. It took me such a long time to find this kind of wonderful book. It is a must buy for a marine painting lover or artist
