Collection: EXHIBITION 2017 - PATRICK O'BRIAN & HMS SURPRISE

Geoff Hunt, Past President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists
Geoff Hunt is probably best known through his paintings for the covers of Patrick O'Brian's superb series of Aubrey/Maturin novels. As well as being today's finest painter of the fighting sail of the 18th and 19th centuries he is a world-renowned expert on the ship construction and naval history of the period, thanks to the minutely-detailed research he undertakes for each of his paintings. Geoff has special interest and expertise in the ships and career of Nelson.
Geoff Hunt's book, published recently and available from Marine Artists.co.uk, shows that his range is far wider than the Nelson era, encompassing 20th century shipping and plein air river landscapes. Geoff is President of Britain's Royal Society of Marine Artists and a member of the Wapping Group, who take their subjects from the River Thames.
