A superb collection of Robert Taylor's maritime paintings, accompanied by commentary on each one by the artist, makes this volume a must for lovers of both ships and fine art alike Robert Taylor enjoys a level of popularity rare among living painters. With an obvious love for his work, his paintings exude a strong sense of atmosphere and a clear understanding of his subjects. Indeed, his unmistakable style is much influenced by his long-standing appreciation of the early Dutch maritime masters, and has matured over nearly thirty years as a professional painter. This, his fourth book, is the first devoted solely to his maritime paintings. More than 30 works are shown in full colour, along with a host of fascinating pencil drawings. Robert Taylor's anecdotal, relaxed style of writing is a pleasure to read, and together with the breathtaking impact of the paintings, this new volume completes a visually stunning record of his artistic achievement for lovers of ships and the sea.
