About the Item
Fitz Henry Lane....Americas Earliest Marine Master Painter
The clipper ship "Northern Light" was painted about 1850-51. It was hung in the India House, a club of sea merchant businesses,
in lower New York City. The painting had hung there for more than 125 years. The Lane is illustrated in the inventory book of the
India House.
See scan of book entry attached.
Description:
Oil on canvas, 24x36" The oil has been cleaned in 2022, and was exhibited at the Vareika Fine Art Gallery in Newport, RI from March
2022-May 2024.
The "Northern Light" was attributed to Lane by John Wilmerding, the foremost marine expert in the USA, on a visit to India House about 2003. The painting was illustrated, and discussed in the New Bedford Whaling Museum exhibition of William Bradford's
work. The catalog is attached below. We agree with Professor Wilmerding that this oil is by Fitz Henry Lane, however, when the India House disbursed their paintings Christies thought the oil was by William Bradford. They placed an estimate of $40-60,000 and it did not sell.
Regarding our Fitz Henry Lane, we believe, as does Dr. John Wilmerding of the National Gallery in DC, and the curators at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, that this exceptional marine oil is by Lane. However, we are mentioning, that when Christie's auction gallery looked at the painting, there was some who thought it was an extraordinary early William Bradford.
If the experts who organized the recent Bradford exhibition, think it's a Fitz Henry Lane and not a Bradford, we are in agreement with their opinion.
