ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "SANCTUARY OF THE SEA"
⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed on verso ⚜ Frameless display
MYTHIC SEASCAPE WITH FANTASTICAL ARCHITECTURE
In Sanctuary of the Sea (2015), Robert Kenneth White presents a visionary coastal realm—part ancient city, part imagined utopia. Classical domes and soaring towers rise from lush hillsides and rugged cliffs, their golden light and crisp detailing reminiscent of both Mediterranean antiquity and high fantasy world-building. Rich sapphire waters lap against stone piers as a sailboat makes its way through the tranquil harbor, offering a sense of scale and serenity.
Executed in oil with White’s signature attention to atmospheric color and architectural clarity, this large-format landscape blends historical evocation with imaginative escape. The composition feels cinematic and immersive, balancing realism with reverie—inviting comparisons to romantic illustrators like Maxfield Parrish, the architectural surrealism of Simon Stålenhag, or the coastal visions of classical landscape painters.

THE ARTIST:
Robert Kenneth White is known for his richly imagined compositions that merge classical realism with visionary storytelling. His works often blend architectural fantasy with mythic naturalism, drawing comparisons to the luminous worlds of Maxfield Parrish and the immersive landscapes of James Gurney, creator of Dinotopia. White’s painterly technique—marked by soft atmospheric transitions and crisp linearity—recalls Thomas Cole and J.M.W. Turner, while his symbolic, storybook environments resonate with fans of Roger Dean, Simon Stålenhag, and Caspar David Friedrich.
Collectors of fantastical realism, architectural allegory, and classical-inspired imagination will find White’s paintings especially compelling alongside the works of Rob Gonsalves, Michael Parkes, and Bo Bartlett. His art appeals equally to those drawn to 19th-century romanticism and to contemporary collectors of imaginative narrative painting.
