THINGVALLA
By Antonio Jacobsen
Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
Signed lower right & dated 1879. Antonio Jacobsen’s painting of the Thingvalla (a shipping line between Scandinavia and the United States) is a masterclass in maritime artistry, showcasing his signature crisp brushwork and dynamic composition. Jacobsen’s strokes are precise yet expressive, capturing the texture of the ship’s hull and the shimmering movement of the water. The fine detailing in the rigging and smokestack demonstrates his meticulous approach. • The Thingvalla appears to surge forward, cutting through the waves with a palpable sense of momentum. The artist’s use of diagonal lines and the tilt of the vessel enhances the illusion of motion. Jacobsen’s ability to balance realism with artistic flair ensures that the Thingvalla feels alive, as if caught mid-voyage. Bio: Antonio Jacobsen, America's folk art hero recognized for his unsurpassed contributions to America's maritime history, recorded domestic and international ships as they passed through the age of sail to steam. He was a prolific painter and throughout his life painted an estimated 6000 paintings. Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 2 November 1850, where, for generations his family had been violin makers. His father encouraged him to practice a similar craft. At an early age he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Design in Copenhagen, however, reversed family fortunes forced him to withdraw. At the age 18 it was compulsory for him to join the Danish military forces, but he decided instead, to sail for America. He left his family behind and arrived in New York in the early 1870's. Like many other immigrants, he went to New York City's Battery Park looking for work. He passed his days sketching the ships that sailed in and out of the harbor. Not before long a representative from Marvin Safe Company noticed his drawings and offered him a job decorating safes. His ability as an artist was further recognized as he began to receive commissions from sea captains and ship owners and eventually Steamship companies, to record their entire fleet. The Old Dominion Line, The Fall River Line and The White Star Line are some of the steamship companies that commissioned him to paint portraits of all the ship in their respective fleets. In addition, the Clyde Line, the Black Ball Line...

The Battle Of Copenhagen By John Stevens Dews
By John Steven Dews
Located in New Orleans, LA
John Steven Dews b.1949 British The Bombardment of Copenhagen Signed "J Steven Dews" (lower left) Oil on canvas This masterpiece by John Dues, entitled The Bombardment of Copenhagen, stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of maritime art and immortalizes one of the most legendary naval battles in history. Dews' brushstrokes depict the famed British and Danish ships lined side by side and capture Lord Horatio Nelson's famous “leapfrog” strategy as his British ships successfully overpowered Copenhagen's powerful fortification. The artist’s virtuosic ability to capture wind, waves and the expansive sky creates an elevated depiction of this battle, unmatched by any previous renderings. It stands alone in works by this master and is considered perhaps the greatest painting of the famed sea battle. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period of intense geopolitical tension between France and Britain unfolded in Europe. The War of the Second Coalition (1798–1802) marked a struggle for supremacy between these two global powers. In response to Britain's blockade on France aimed at crippling its economy, Sweden, Prussia, Denmark and Russia formed the League of Armed Neutrality to ensure free trade with France. Unsurprisingly, this challenged Britain's interests. To disrupt the League, Britain dispatched a formidable fleet under Admiral Sir Hyde Parker and Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, and on March 30, 1801, the brilliant pair of admirals, along with 20 ships and their supports, arrived in Copenhagen. Nelson, ever the tactician, suggested a southern approach to bypass the Middle Ground, a shoal east of the city too shallow for large ships. Admiral Parker agreed, and Nelson moved his ships southeast under the cover of darkness. Simultaneously, Parker's ships paraded in the north to distract the Danes. On the morning of April 2, Nelson initiated the attack. Despite early setbacks, including three ships running aground, the British fleet executed Nelson's "leapfrogging" strategy brilliantly. Admiral Parker, misjudging the situation due to obstructed visibility, signaled for a retreat. Nelson famously held his telescope to his blind eye, stating he could not see the signal, and continued until victory was achieved. The saying "Turning a blind eye” comes from this famed moment. Eventually, the British gained the upper hand, capturing several Danish ships. Nelson then sent a message to the Danish Crown, threatening to burn the captured vessels unless a ceasefire was agreed upon. The Danes complied, and a peace treaty followed, effectively dissolving the League of Armed Neutrality. The Battle of Copenhagen...
