Maritime Historian

Maritime Art

I am proud to support Maritime Artists from around the world, including four artists from The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Paintings have a unique texture and life of its own. Obviously, these fine canvases are painted by men who have a genuine love of Ocean-going liners, cargo ships or tramp steamers! In the near future, I hope to add further artists to this page thus I suggest that you return often and see what’s new on the ssMaritime Art Page!

Remember, if you have a favourite ship you can contact one of these fine artists (except for the last entry) and commission them to paint the ship of choice!

Markant Gallery – Dutch Aritst Frans Romeijnsen

 

A painting of the Holland Amerika Lijn SS Rotterdam & SS Nieuw Amsterdam

Frans Daniel Romeijnsen was born in Terneuzen, The Netherlands in 1944, and his father was also an artist. As a child he started to become interested in drawing. Then, his father decided that Frans was obviously more than interested in art, thus he took him under his wing and began teaching him various techniques, pastel, pencil and aquarelle. Later in life, after military service Frans dedicated himself to painting with oils. Ever since, he has been painting portraits, landscapes, still life, but mostly sea and harbour scenes. Frans is a member of the association of the Holland America Line and his paintings of the great Dutch liners can be found on the websites of the Royal Rotterdam Lloyd Museum and the Royal Dutch Steamship Association. In addition to painting Frans teaches up to 40 students in his Gallery.

Maritime Art by Dutch Artist Willem Johan Hoendervanger

 

Here we see a painting of what was considered the most beautiful ship ever built the SS Nieuw Amsterdam

Willem has also painted many passenger liners - you can view these on Willem’s site

As a young artist, Willem Johan Hoendervanger graduated from the Academy of Art at Breda in the Netherlands in 2005. He said that “These years at college were very instructive and educational.” After his graduation he decided to fully commit himself to the field of maritime art. Apart from other work interests, he paints regularly for (former) seamen, maritime companies or anyone who has a love of ships and the sea. Having that special quality and nautical touch, I decided to add him to the ssMaritime Art pages.

Is there a ship you really love? Why not commission Willem to paint it for you. Email him at: hoendervanger.willemjohan@gmail.com.
