Robert Kenneth White "Sanctuary of the Sea" 2015 Oil of Imagined Classical Port
Located in Miami, FL
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. WHY COLLECT THIS WORK? ✓ Dreamlike coastal cityscape rendered in luminous oil technique ✓ Large, immersive horizontal format ideal for major feature walls ✓ Evokes timeless architectural fantasy with painterly realism ✓ A standout for collectors of Maxfield Parrish, James Gurney, or Thomas Cole ARTWORK DETAILS: ▸ Title: "Sanctuary of the Sea" ▸ Artist: Robert Kenneth White ▸ Medium: Oil on Canvas ▸ Year of Creation: 2015 ▸ Signature: Hand signed on verso ▸ Country of Origin: United States ▸ Dimensions: — ◼︎ Canvas Size: 19.75 x 39.5 inches ▸ Condition: Excellent ▸ Framing: Frameless Display – Ready to hang or frame INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION ✓ Certificate of Authenticity ✓ Artist Biography Document THE ARTIST: Robert Kenneth White is known for his richly imagined compositions that merge classical realism with visionary storytelling.
