Seas in art

Gallery

Thomas Moran, Icebergs in Mid Atlantic, 1909.

The sea and its pictorial representation have been one of the most developed art genres since many centuries ago. From the classical, serene seascapes by Fitz Hugh Lane to the contemporary visions of Richard Diebenkorn, the audacious Japanese Painting or -of course- the incomparable William Turner. (by G. Fernández - theartwolf.com) [1]
