"When John Wilmerding published his history of American maritime painting in 1968 there was no book that surveyed the wealth of American art depicting the sea and shore--views of shorelines, harbors, and the open sea, of nautical events, from naval battles to shipwrecks, and of vessels of all kinds, from yachts to clipper ships. Since then, the rediscovery that Wilmerding's pioneering work helped to inspire of a little-known world of nineteenth-century American art and artists has continued. Artists who were virtually unheard of by all but a few specialists in the field twenty years ago are ow acknowledged as masters. American Marine Painting is appropriately a celebratory volume. and it includes more than sixty new colorplates than the first edition , illustrating works that are today treasured as be central to our artistic heritage." From the dust jacket of book.
"I will now speak of another component of scenery, without which every landscape is defective- it is water". Thomas Cole
