The Grandeur of America’s Age of Sail

The Grandeur of America’s Age of Sail celebrates sixty years of work by John Stobart by showcasing the artistic breadth of this gifted painter. This comprehensive volume begins with his early work as a student at the Derby College of Arts and Crafts to his formative years at the Royal Academy of Arts, and his early professional ship painting to his signature historic views of American ports, and his spontaneous plein-air oil sketches.  This publication is a fitting representation of the life and work of John Stobart. The sixty-six paintings in this book are illustrated as full-color plates accompanied by brief captions.
