Description
size: 16x22in Premium Giclee Print: HMS Scylla by Montague Dawson: Each print is hand numbered, accompanied by a certificate signed by the Master Printer and is numbered to match the print. The editions are limited to 1880 copies. Montague Dawson (1895 - 1973), deemed "King of the Clipper Ship School," was one of the greatest mariner artists of the 20th century. Growing up by the waters of Southampton in a seafaring family, he was comfortable with the water and used it as his main theme. Deftly portraying the interplay between sky, sea, and vessel in his portraits of tempest-tossed ships on the high seas, Dawson illustrated maritime battles for "the Sphere" during World Wars I and II. At the peak of his career, he was said to be the highest-paid painter aside from Picasso.
