From story seascapes and stirring sea battles to cosy cabin scenes and views along the sea shore, marine art encompasses an amazing range of subjects and styles. All the famous names associated with marine painting, including Turner, Monet and Whistler are featured in this superbly illustrated survey that spans more than three thousand years The Dutch and Flemish masters, such as the van de Veldes, perhaps the two most celebrated of all marine painters, and their influence on subsequent generations of marine artists, are discussed in details together with artists not normally associated with the genre, including historical painters such as Benjamin West and Theodore Gericault who have given us some of the most dramatic of maritime images.
