Description

Brig off the Maine Coast by Fitz Henry Lane 1851

Close-hauled, on a starboard tack before an overtaking squall, a merchant brig passes dangerously close to a rocky headland. The place given in the painting’s title is conjectural, it could also be anywhere between Boston and Cape Ann, but the situation was all too real for vessels sailing New England’s rockbound coastal routes in the nineteenth century.

Fitz Henry Lane December 19, 1804 – August 14, 1865 was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.
From the time of his birth, Lane would be exposed to the sea and maritime life, a factor that obviously had a great impact on his later choice of subject matter.
