Paintings of the Golden Age


Recommended Posts

I've recently discovered some amazing paintings of the Golden Age and earlier and thought I should share them here...

First...

ca. 1688 - Dutch Whalers off a Rocky Coast by Abraham Storck

Wow, thanks for posting these, William! This is most useful for a project I am working on for Easter (of all things.)

Check this one (The Loss of the Royal George by John Christian Schetky, c 1840) out: (Yeah, not period, but it's a shipwreck!)

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

You can tell that it rolled over to Starboard all at once, as it's laying upon another boat. Great painting!

from 1703

It looks like a plethora of monmouth caps and tricorns.

I have this in other tread but

Port from same artist

There is interesting mixture of hats: monmouths and trumps, Peter the Greats and round hats and some others as well.... Painter was certainly well informed and his pictures are accurate...

Look at the detail on that last painting:

There's a cowboy hat on the ground. :lol::P

What is the seated guy holding? It almost looks like a cigarette. (To bring up that hoary old topic...)

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Hmmm I have heard somewhere (well history magasine) that cowboys in reality (in late 19th century) did not even use "cowboy hat" much. Bowler was much more popular style.... Anyway That hat in pic. It is round hat typical to the age and since brim is modest it seems to be sailor's hat....

Mission you have yet to find who pub member looks like that mustachioed fellow with dark suit :P

I have one theory of that "cigarette" it can bee chalk and with it the man is marking barrels and boxes and the sailor is having break and that is why he is sitting.

also it can be just a end of the clay pipe and the other end is in his hand....

Is somebody there having a picnic? see the food basket there ;)

There is a guy at PiP (Pirates in Paradise in Key West, FL) named Aldo Barrios who could totally pull that one off. He'd have to apply a fake mustacio, though.
