About the Item

English 20th century portrait of an English Frigate in full sail at sea in oils. A very well painted oil on canvas with great detail of a ship cutting through the sea at I'm sure great speed. The piece is an oil on canvas with I think gouache added to the waves to make them a brighter white. The piece is signed Mason and with some investigation, we are attributing this painting to the talented English painter Barry Mason who is a marine painting specialist. He often painted single ships with great detail, and this observation to detail is seen in this piece. Through contacting the expert on F.H.Mason. he put forward the attribution of the piece possibly being the work of Barry Mason. This would also be backed up by my restorer. When the painting was sent to be cleaned my restorer concluded the painting is only between 30 and 50 years old, though the style of the boat and skill in the painting would make the viewer believe it's older..! The piece is oil on canvas and it is framed in a vintage English mahogany frame.

19th century Ship portrait of the
Located in Woodbury, CT
The former Curator of Oil Paintings at the National Maritime Museum, E H H Archibald, says of Joseph Heard in his Dictionary of Sea Painters in Europe and America that "…with Samuel Walters he must stand as the top-ranking Liverpool ship portraitist of the 19th century." He would have known the artist's work well as the National Maritime Museum has eleven paintings by Heard in its collection. Joseph Heard was born on 7th March 1799 in Egremont near Whitehaven in Cumberland. His father, also Joseph, was a saddler and it is believed that the aspirant painter received some artistic training from John Clementson who was a local portrait painter. Joseph had a brother Isaac who painted portraits. It is possible that Joseph came across the work of H Collins...
