SHIPS RETURNING TO LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND
AFTER GALES OF JANUARY,
1866
OIL ON BOARD 20th Cent.
Oil on canvas 20th Century
Signed Jerome Howes LR
Unframed 23 1/2" L x 11 1/2"

Presented is a classic painting of
four ships returning to Liverpool, England that were damaged in a series of gales that struck in January, 1866. First in line
after Pilot Boat "8" is RMS Athenium. Next is the Barque Richard Cobden, then the Barque Lord Dufferin,
and finally the Coaster Persia. The pilot boat in the foreground is a gaff headed schooner under shortened canvas.
All the ships are heeling to leeward and shows the wind is still blowing.
The sky is bluish grey with many dark clouds. A truly breath
taking work done in the style of the 1800's. On the lower right, it is signed Jerome Howe's. A old style wood and gilded frame
is included. The condition of the painting is excellent and should be considered a recent work done in the style of the period
by a maritime artist of renowned talent.

SHIP PORTRAITS
AND SEASCAPES were a favorite subject of master painters of many nationalities and provide a lasting remembrance
of a romantic and beautiful period when sailing ships ruled the oceans. Some of the better known American painters who recorded
this period of our history were James and Thomas Butterworth, Antonio Jacobsen, Fitz Henry Lane, John Stobart and William
Stubbs to mention only a few. Jerome Howe is joining this list of dignitaries, and some of his luminescent scenes remind one
of Lane's use of light.
