SHIP PORTRAITS were done by master painters of many nationalities and provide a lasting remembrance of a romantic and beautiful period of ocean commerce. Some of the better known American painters who recorded this period of our history were James and Thomas Butterworth, Antonio Jacobsen, Fitz Hugh Lane, John Stobart and William Stubbs to mention only a few.

 

There were numerous other artists who painted  portraits of vessels throughout Europe and the Orient. Many did not sign their works. Some of these paintings like the Chinese and Italian School were somewhat flat in their style, and more simply executed than European and American artists. Frequently the ships and landscapes in the backgrounds gave an indication of where they were painted. The paintings may have age crackles in their varnish, and many of them are in poor condition requiring restoration.
