History & Criticism

Mystic Seaport

<p>―Revised edition of a publication that has been out of print for nearly 30 years ―Paintings previously printed in black and white, now reproduced in full color ―Still considered the most detailed collection of the work of Buttersworth, one of the most well-known and prolific maritime painters of the nineteenth century ―More than 200 color plates ―Of interest to any maritime enthusiasts, collectors of maritime art and artifacts, yachting institutions, and coastal community retailers The son of a British marine painter, James E. Buttersworth (1817-1894) was among the most prolific maritime artists of the nineteenth century. After developing his craft in England, he emigrated to the U.S. and for more than 40 years, documented the yachts and commercial vessels that frequented the waters around New York City. Like his contemporaries, the Luminist and Hudson River School artists, Buttersworth excelled in dramatic depictions of sea and sky, elevating his precisely detailed renderings of ships beyond document to art.</p>
