Shane Michael Couch
Birth of the J Class, Long Island Sound

2023

About the Item

Set on Long Island Sound where between June 11th and June 17th the four newly built J-class yachts built for the defense of the 1930 America’s Cup raced together for the first time along with the 1919 America’s Cup defender Resolute and her close rival Vanitie. Both Vanitie and Resolute had been converted to race with the new contenders as trial horses. Initially Weetamoe proved to be the most successful boat, and the season saw some very close races between her and the eventual America’s Cup defender Enterprise. The painting depicts the fourth race of the series and shows Weetamoe and Enterprise leading the fleet off Eatons Neck. Yankee and Vanitie are shown on port tack whilst Whirlwind and Resolute hold on to starboard.

Pink Sunset in Winter Birch Forest Giant Landscape early 20 Сentury Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
An impressive painting in size and execution, a frosty winter day in a birch grove with a small pond. The orange-yellow sunset reflected on the surface of the pond creates the illusion of bizarre reflections. The frosty haze that has enveloped the forest intertwines with the approaching twilight, enhancing the sense of depth and atmosphere. On the right we see a traveler returning from the forest with an armful of brushwood on his back.
