Seascapes: Paintings and Watercolors from the U Collection
May 28, 2009 - Oct 18, 2009
Lovers of the sea will delight in this small but stunning exhibition of marine paintings and watercolors from the glorious Dutch "Golden Age," and by noted British artists. The exhibition features more than twenty works from a recent major gift to the Center. On view will be works spanning the seventeenth to the the nineteenth centuries by the Dutch Willem van de Velde (father and son); Peter Monamy, one of the first British artists to be celebrated as a marine painter; Nicholas Pocock, a merchant sea captain turned artist; and a trio of nineteenth-century artists, George Chambers, Edward Duncan, and Thomas Sewell Robins, whose beautiful coastal views reflect the impact of the romantic movement on marine painting. Scenes of famous naval battles, warships, privateers, fishing boats, and historical vessels, including HMS Bounty, will be on view, as well as works attesting to Great Britain's maritime capabilities, interest in scientific exploration, and imperial expansion.
