Humanity has always been fascinated by the sea; seafaring shaped the very beginnings of human culture — whether in trade or exploration. Accordingly, depictions of ships and oceans already appeared in the visual arts from early on. This volume traces the development of maritime art through numerous high-quality illustrations: from its beginnings as a secondary motif in other subjects, through the great era of the Dutch masters and the dramatic event paintings of the English, to the magnificent nature studies of the Impressionists.
