5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful collection of marine paintings, 25 Oct 2006

By	Marshall Lord (Whitehaven, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Geoff Hunt is one of the most talented marine artists since Montague Dawson. This book contains dozens of prints of his most beautiful paintings, which in many cases are complete with earlier versions from line drawings to colour sketches.

There are many descriptions of how the paintings came to be created, from who commissioned each one to the ideas the artist had about how to execute the commission and how he turned it real.

Most of the subjects concern warships of Nelson's era, though there are a few drawings and paintings of more modern warships or civilian ships. in particular, there are many paintings of the ships of the line in which Nelson served, many of them illustrating real incidents from Nelson's service career.

The book also contains a large number of paintings illustrating ships and scenes from the Jack Aubrey novels written by Patrick O'Brien. Indeed, many of the ships which appear in these novels were real historical vessels, and Hunt faithfully reproduced these ships in the book covers and other paintings included. In Hunt's words, "In most cases Patrick press-gangs real ships into his novels."

Geoff Hunt manages to make ships of the line and frigates from the era of fighting sail incredibly beautiful, but he also goes to some length to make his pictures realistic, even consulting the original logbooks of the ships concerned when he is trying to capture real historical events and feats of seamanship. He also consulted the original signal code books before painting the signal flags flown by his warships, so they spell out appropriate messages in the codes of the period.

If you are attracted to pictures of ships from the era of fighting sail, you will love this book.
