Seascapes become particularly relevant during the Dutch Golden Age (1588-1672). It is only in the 16th century that the emergence of famous ocean artwork can be seen in Europe. This, along with scrolls from Japan that date back to the 1300s, has led art historians to believe that paintings of the ocean were popular in the East hundreds of years before they were in the West.
Scrolls dating back to the Song dynasty (960-1279) in China were found with dedicated paintings of the sea on them. Many ancient artifacts from around the world have been found with sea motifs on them. It is hard to pinpoint when people first started to create artwork that celebrated the ocean.
We see this all over the world such as Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea, or Mazu, the goddess of the sea in Chinese mythology. Therefore, it became sacred and was often worshipped in the form of a deity. For many coastal regions, the sea was a way people could feed their families and make a living. The ocean is a significant part of many cultures around the world. 3.2 What Are Paintings of the Ocean Called?Ī Brief Introduction to Paintings of the Ocean.3.1 Who Was Famous for Paintings of the Sea?.2.10 The Gulf Stream (1899) by Winslow Homer.2.9 Impression, Sunrise (1872) by Claude Monet.2.7 The Icebergs (1861) by Frederic Edwin Church.2.6 The Ninth Wave (1850) by Ivan Aivazovsky.2.5 The Fighting Temeraire, tugged to her last Berth to be broken up (1839) by J.2.4 The Great Wave Off the Coast of Kanagawa (1831) by Katsushika Hokusai.2.1 Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee (1633) by Rembrandt.1 A Brief Introduction to Paintings of the Ocean.
