The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt

Geoff Hunt, the current President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, is known to millions of readers worldwide as the artist reponsible for the covers of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series of historical novels.  He is widely regarded as one of the world's leading maritime artists and his paintings of square-riggers, sea battles and naval operations truly evoke the era of Nelson's Navy - as well as more contemporay scenes. 

Written by the artist himself with material from historical author Julian Stockwin and naval historian David Cordingly, The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt showcases over 150 paintings and drawings following Geoff's prolific career, demonstrating his techniques and influences.  Published mid-September by Conway Maritime Press priced at £16.99, the book includes case studies from the author, explaining his inspirations, the subsequent research and exploration of source material and the lengthy development through notes and sketches towards a finished painting: this book not only showcases Geoff's work but also provides a remarkable insight into the meticulous preparation and execution of his paintings.

Hey Ron, I also have a painting by P. Jeakins, of 31/2 tall ships among 3 Chinese junks. I don't know if it's done by the same artist as yours. I purchased it in 1982 or 1983 and I don't know anything about the artist. My painting is 30" x 40" and , in my opinion, is not far off from being a master piece. Linda

I guess it is just as fascinating to know the story behind the painting, and not just stare at a gorgeous unbelievable masterpiece. Ms.Meenaghan is right- you have a great blog and a lovely way of writing. I love sea paintings- the way these artists capture the texture of the waves...
