About the Item

This seascape captures a ship ensnared in the relentless grip of a violent squall, paying homage to the tradition of nautical and maritime art of the 18th and 19th centuries. Waves crash with the force of timeless tempests, echoing the dramatic seascapes painted by maritime artists of old. The ship, a lone voyager battling the elements, becomes a poignant symbol in the grand legacy of seafaring tales depicted by the artistic masters who once translated the raw power of the sea onto canvas. Fidel Santos is a contemporary artist whose work is profoundly influenced by the rich tapestry of Old Master, Baroque, and Renaissance art. Drawing inspiration from these classical periods, Santos skillfully weaves a visual narrative that transcends time. His artistic repertoire is characterized by a meticulous exploration of iconography and symbolism, echoing the traditions of the past while infusing them with a modern sensibility. Through his art, Santos invites viewers on a journey into the realms of allegory and metaphor, where each stroke is a thoughtful homage to the mastery of bygone eras. In seamlessly blending classical techniques with contemporary perspectives, Fidel Santos creates evocative artworks that resonate with both historical depth and contemporary relevance.

Approaching Storm with White Caps and High Sea
By Thomas Rose Miles
Located in Missouri, MO
Framed Size: approx. 37 x 55 inches Canvas Size: approx. 24 x 41.5 inches Thomas Rose Miles (British, 1844 - 1916) The grandeur of the oceans has always inspired artistic endeavors. Over, under and upon the boundless seas, dramatic vignettes take shape, and humans set to capture the array of the aquatic muse. Thomas Rose Miles was one such inspired artist, to illustrated the strength of his muse, who wrote poetic verse on the verso of nearly every painting he performed. The sea's beauty is most often shown in direct competition with its power and unpredictable nature on his canvases and watercolors. He includes the human element, usually over-matched yet persevering against the heavy swells and weather-driven might, carrying on the Marine Art Legacy that was birthed in the best of the Dutch Maritime...
