First, congratulations on what I gather is virtually a single-handed transformation of the article. Some rapid thoughts: I think of
Jacob Isaakszoon van Ruisdael in the 17th century. In the 20th century there have been some major artists in the genre--I think first of American painters, coast of Maine:
Edward Hopper,
George Bellows,
Rockwell Kent, all influenced by Homer....
Childe Hassam painted a lengthy series on the
Isles of Shoals;
Marsden Hartley, important modernist, Maine coast seascapes;
Neil Welliver, major late 20th century landscape painter; didn't the
Fauves use the Seine as a centerpiece for their work? And
Pierre Bonnard (still my nominee for the paltriest article on a major artist) was big on the sea. In Canada,
Tom Thomson; shore painters of note include
William Merritt Chase....late 19th century, a substantial body of major shore paintings done by
Joaquin Sorolla in Spain, and lots of ocean views, Thames paintings, and Venetian lagoons by
Whistler; in Russia,
Isaac Levitan.
Francis Smitheman is a painter that's still active. Dunno how famous or skilled he is, but he certainly has produced a lot. For example, His reconstruction of Vasa has been used on all kinds of merchandise by the
Vasa Museum.
Just reading through the article, some sections say "15th" or "16th" century, whereas others say "eighteenth". Not sure which is preferred, but the article would look a little nicer with consistency. Best Wishes -
