1888

About the Item

Though he was born in Norwich, England in 1833 and lived in London for the second half of his life, George Henry Boughton’s formative years as a self-taught artist began in Albany, New York, where his family settled in the 1830’s. Recognized as a leading landscape and genre painter in the United States and abroad, Boughton illustrated editions of Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle and History of New York and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter. In his landscapes, he painted scenes of England, Brittany and the Netherlands. By age 19 Boughton was a landscape painter of note and opened his first studio in 1852. The American Art Union purchased one of his early pictures and exhibited his work enabling him to study in England for six months. In 1857, Boughton exhibited at the Washington Art Association, and from 1859 to 1860 he worked in New York City. In 1860, he traveled to Paris where he studied under Edouard Frere and Edouard May. The French influences were subsequently reflected in his style. Boughton established a studio in London in 1861 where he focused on subjects of American Colonial history. Boughton’s work is in several collections including the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut; Boston Museum of Fine Art; New York Historical Society; and Tate Gallery, London. The painting measures 32" x 42" framed. The painting is lightly signed with artist's monogram lower left and dated lower right.

    By Warren W. Sheppard
    Located in Wiscasset, ME
    Marine painter Warren W. Sheppard was born in Greenwich, New Jersey, to a ship captain father who instilled in his son a love and respect for the sea. He studied privately with Mauritz F. H. De Haas and took courses in drawing at Cooper Union in New York City. He traveled along the Mediterranean coast in 1879, sketching the ports of Naples, Gibraltar, Genoa and Messina. Sheppard’s foreign tours continued between 1888 and 1893, with stays in Paris and Venice, where he captured the architecture and busy canals of the Floating City. This fondness for travel also translated to his home country. He sailed along the East Coast from New Jersey to Maine in search of subjects and was an expert navigator, eventually writing the book Practical Navigation. Yacht design became a second career for Sheppard and he participated in a number of sailing competitions himself, most notably winning the New York-to-Bermuda race twice while skipper of the Tamerlane. Sheppard exhibited at the Denver Exposition, Chicago Exposition...
