Help to locate information on a painting.
Hi all, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I come with cap in hand as I am trying to locate any information at all on a painting that I saw recently. I managed to get a picture of it in the hope that it may help. I apologise for the poor reflections seen but the ocean can be seen very clearly. It is approximately 3' x 2', Oil on Canvas and apparently of Victorian origin, this is a copy of a print and therefore no information is printed on it, not even the artists name. it was purchased many years ago as gift from a car boot sale so no help is available from the prior owner. If anyone can shed any more light on this it would be so appreciated. Many thanks in advance. |

Did you post a different picture of this a couple of days ago? Someone posted a seascape recently, but I can't find the thread at the moment.

Just found the thread I was referring to. It's the first post here. A very similar painting of sea swells, but not the same one.

... Per the other thread, you could try looking at Aivazovsky or even Ribcowsky. There must be a few other artists who tackled this kind of subject regularly, but I can't think of any offhand.

Another was the British painter Henry Moore (1831-95)
