Ships on a Stormy Sea

Baltimore-born Franklin Dullin Briscoe was a very fortunate artist. He learned his craft directly from the leading marine painter of his time, Edward Moran (1829-1901), whose brother was Thomas Moran (1837-1926), who is acknowledged as one of America's greatest landscape painters. From Moran, Briscoe learned how to use the passages of light and dark to create dramatic scenes of ships at sea, as can be seen in these two masterful, brooding paintings.
