Wikipedia:
Frederic Edwin Church (May 4, 1826 – April 7, 1900) was an American landscape painter[1] born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, perhaps best known for painting large panoramic landscapes, often depicting mountains, waterfalls, and sunsets, but also sometimes depicting dramatic natural phenomena that he saw during his travels to the Arctic and Central and South America. Church’s paintings put an emphasis on light and a romantic respect for natural detail. In his later years, Church painted classical Mediterranean and Middle Eastern scenes and cityscapes.[2]

Who? (Oddly, no entry in Wikipedia. Someone should get on that.)
That was my reaction. I went looking for pictures of boats and went down the internet rabbit-hole until I found this man and his work. Just wow, he’s pretty good. Here’s a link to his biography– sadly, he passed away last year.
His output is tremendous, but for this week’s batch I went for Confederate naval ships (mostly) kicking ass. Immensely satisfying…
Watch over the next seven days and collect the whole set!
