Sailing Ship

Creator: Frank Vining Smith
Offered by: William A. Karges Fine Art

Description
Enjoy this exciting marine scene by the American maritime painter and illustrator Frank Vining Smith, who specialized in dramatic representations of tall ships. His depictions of these huge vessels are both inspiring and exhilarating, as he skillfully captures the whipping winds, the billowing, full sails, and the overwhelming power and vastness of the ocean.

Smith was an enthusiastic sailor who was endlessly fascinated by the sea. He spent a great deal of time over the course of his life carefully observing the riggings, sails, and masts of these historic ships and was admired for the great care he took to represent the specific details accurately and painstakingly.
