5.0 out of 5 stars Ships and Seascapes: Introduction to Maritime Prints, Drawings and Watercolours, 7 Jun 2009
By wraggmeister (Planet Oith!) - See all my reviews
Some gang-buster cover art, and the format gave an initial clue when ordering, that this was not just an ordinary gloss over of marine pix and artists. As it says in the title an 'introduction', it really is that, touching all relevant facets of this field. I say this, having acquired several other favourite picture books on the subject that usually go into one or two aspects that interest them in great detail.

I was particularly taken with work examples shown from the better known artists and the discerning use of some surprising "new" ones not the usual chestnuts. Alongside are some remarkably good ones from lesser known but non the less deserving artists that provide an overall high standard and rich content in subject materiel. There is a lot to be said for this book as a purchase for anyone with the vaguest interest in ships and the sea.

Three items, I think, made the book made it all worthwhile for me. Burton Cull's painting of a tranquil, leisurely, 'Royal Sovereign entering Portland Harbour'. A favourite as I have been on the exact spot as the artists point of view and this was the first time I had seen the whole picture uncropped.
Another familiar locale, is featured in Frank Mason's 'Off Whitby' depicting a bustling, busy busy, Gaff rig schooner thrashing its way south through the North Sea.
The coup de grace however, is a superb thematic oil painting 'I will not abandon you' by Thomas Somerscales. One of his familiar Clipper-ship subjects is depicted with added poignancy, approaching 3 men in an open boat, as it hauls in sail under an ominous sky. If there is such a thing as an artist's masterpiece, this has to be one. Even Somerscales, on reading this, would probably agree, "he got it right with this one!"

The author too and his team, got it right with a loving treatment of this subject. The content and the presentation, make for an absolute delight! Some how, in my enthusiasm, I ended up with two copies and can enjoy the double pleasure of reading in stereo!
