About the Item

American Clipper Ship at Sea by Antonio Jacobsen, Signed and Dated 1917 This stunning maritime oil painting by renowned marine artist Antonio Jacobsen (1850–1921) captures a majestic American clipper ship gracefully cutting through the ocean under full sail. Executed in 1917 and signed in the lower right corner, the piece exhibits Jacobsen’s characteristic precision in rendering ship rigging, motion, and atmosphere. The American flag flying proudly at the stern emphasizes its heritage. The artist’s attention to detail is exceptional, from the meticulously drawn sails and rigging to the dynamic waves that reflect the ship's speed and power. The painting is beautifully housed in a substantial giltwood frame with intricate molding, complementing the classic subject matter. Jacobsen, considered the premier chronicler of American ships in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, produced over 6,000 paintings and is highly collected today.
