marine artist

Ocean scene painter

A marine artist is a painter or other visual artist who specializes in depicting maritime subjects—ships, seascapes, naval battles, harbors, and coastal scenes.

The tradition dates to Dutch Golden Age painters and continues today.

Turner was perhaps the greatest marine artist, capturing the drama of sea and light.
