The Tall Ship in Art: Roy Cross, Derek Gardner, John Groves, Geoff Hunt, Mark Myers

Very informative text. Clear descriptions of the ships. I love the pictures.

The clarity and color of the reproductions of marine paintings in this book are nothing less than superb. While the individual styles and, to some extent, the specific subject matter of the five artists vary, I find it impossible to single out any one of them as being "better" than the others. Each is a highly talented artist who brings the past to life in a most convincing manner. While men-of-war are probably the most frequent subject of the paintings in this book, merchant vessels and ships of exploration and even of pleasure are not neglected. It is pure joy to just leaf through this volume and gaze at the wealth of images. Anyone who is fascinated by the sea and sailing ships cannot fail to be enchanted by this book.

I felt the forward was a bit awkward. But, past that, I was able to really get into the artwork and the stories behind each by the artist. . Many of the artworks are available for viewing on the internet, but most I saw for the first time on these pages. And what a group of artists there were! I heartily recommend this book to anyone into shiplore or simply maritime art.

This book was a gift for a friend, so I have not seen the inside. My friend was delighted and said all the art was beautiful. It seems to be a good choice for anyone interested in the tall ships.

What a delight to go through this masterly production. I purchased this book as a gift for my brother who loved it. He almost didn't get it because I was loathe to pet with it. I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

A great book and paintings. Wish it were thicker and still in print. There should be more books like this.

This is the greatest book I ever found about ancient ship painting. It took me such a long time to find this kind of wonderful book. It is a must buy for a marine painting lover or artist

Lovely gift for an artist that love ships

As described

Some of the best artists capable to illustrate the tall ships and their marine environment with effective and realistic paintings; Good the possibility of finding used book.

Wunderbare Darstellungen.

Quelques grands artistes réunis dans un ouvrage que j'avais imaginé un peu plus volumineux, mais qui n'en n'est pas moins une très belle réussiteTrès bonnne qualitéPeut-être manque-t-il juste quelques autres monuments, comme John Stobart, Steven Dews ou Tim Thopmson...
