Description
The Golden State Entering New York Harbor by Fitz Henry Lane 1854
The clipper ship Golden State was built in New York in 1852 and, as its name suggests, plied the seas around Cape Horn to California when overland travel across the North American continent was still unreliable and before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 made it no longer necessary to take such an extensive southern detour. The skyline of New York, as seen from New Jersey, is delineated in the background.
Fitz Henry Lane December 19, 1804 to August 14, 1865 was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.
Born on in Gloucester, Massachusetts and from the time of his birth, Lane would be exposed to the sea and maritime life—a factor that obviously had a great impact his later choice of subject matter.
