James E Buttersworth Paintings
James E Buttersworth (1817-1894) emerged as an important figure in british-american art, building a body of work shaped by the artistic priorities of Realism.
Seen across the surviving oeuvre, the paintings reveal a steady concern for subject, composition, and the visual character expected of the period. Qualities such as premier maritime painter specializing in racing yachts and clipper ships give many compositions their character. This impression is strengthened by dramatic compositions capturing vessels under full sail in rough seas. Well-known examples include *American Racing Yachts Off The East End Of Long Island* and *American Shipping Displays The Flag*, which are often cited when introducing the artist’s work.
