Published by Antique Collectors' Club
ISBN No: 1 85149 277 1
Size: 8 1/2 x 11 ins
208pp 142 col. 172b&w 21line drawings


Charles Brooking is at the forefront of English marine painters, but since he died, aged thirty-six, in 1759, there was to be no recognition in his short life to justify his remarkable ability. He has probably produced the most atmospheric and beautiful marine paintings of all time. All his known pictures are illustrated and described in this much needed catalogue raisonné, together with all his known drawings and engravings. There is a chapter on eighteenth century London marine engravers written by James Taylor, a curator at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, London.
The book also describes the Dutch marine painters in the seventeenth century and shows how the English school developed following the Van de Velde's work at Greenwich. The book contains biographies of the British marine painters of the eighteenth century, illustrated from private collections and from Greenwich.
The appendices hold useful information from the eighteenth century concerning London in that period and the Royal Dockyards lower down the River Thames; lists of naval actions in Brooking's time showing the types of men o' war then in commission; the flags shown in Brooking's pictures; details of their dating from the various stylistic changes to the rigging, in the ships and in their boats; and the major collectors of Brooking's paintings.
This is the first book to fully cover the eighteenth century British marine painters in general terms and Charles Brooking in particular. It is badly needed by scholars, collectors, sale rooms, museums and art galleries.
The Author
David Joel has spent most of his working life in the Royal Navy and has commanded seven of Her Majesty's ships. In between his many sea-going appointments, he was fortunate to serve three times at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
David Joel is also a painter. He lives in a lighthouse at the entrance of the River Nene on the borders of Norfolk and Lincolnshire in East Anglia.
