The Navy of Nelson by Geoff Hunt, RSMA. A past President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, Geoff is one of the world’s finest painters of 18th and 19th century ships. Through his research for paintings he is also a leading authority on naval history and ship architecture of the period and has a special interest in the ships and commands of Lord Nelson.
“Geoff Hunt’s pictures, perfectly accurate in period and detail, but very far from merely representational, are often suffused with a light reminiscent of Canaletto”. So said Patrick O’Brian, whose book covers Geoff has illustrated since 1988.
Geoff gave the Hanson Lecture in London back in March 2013 and for those members who missed that evening here is another opportunity to see his beautifully illustrated talk.
