Sailing Vessels in Stormy Seas is an original watercolor painting on paper by the well known American artist, Robert Hopkin (1832-1909). This is a wonderful work using darks and light in order to capture the feeling of the storm. The art is 18 x 12 3/4 inches. It is signed in the lower right. It is triple matted and under glass. The wood frame has a black and silver finish and is 24 x 19 inches. The art appears to be in very good condition but has not been examined out of the frame. The frame has some minor wear from handling. Robert B. Hopkin was the leading painter in mid to late 19th-century Detroit and was recognized during his lifetime. He created over 390 oils and watercolors, including views of the Great Lakes, the local landscape, and views from his travels to Ireland, Scotland, and throughout the U.S. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1843 and became a resident marine and landscape painter of Detroit, Michigan. From 1843 to his death, he resided almost continuously in Detroit, MI, excluding one year spent in Chicago, 1870. He created ship pictures, seascapes, landscapes, and decorative works. He was known for marine subjects and decorated the interiors of buildings, and passenger steamboats in Detroit, Canada, Denver, and New Orleans, among other cities. His best known works were his interior decorations for the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the Detroit Opera House. Do not hesitate to contact us concerning any questions.
