Details
Favoring an accurate portrayal over other highly stylized and unrealistic renderings, Richards distinguished himself from other artists of the time by creating photo-realistic landscapes using almost exclusively marine watercolors as his medium. Because of his intense passion to paint the truth of what his eyes saw and not a fantastical rendition, he was chosen to be a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1871.
William Trost Richards paved the way for other landscape artists to create from their surroundings instead of imagination and moved on to paint mainly seascapes in his later years; to get the appropriate perspective, he would often stand in the water to capture the wave's cresting. Many of his works of art can now be found in such esteemed places as The Saint Louis Art Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Wadsworth Atheneum and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

If you're a fan of Impressionist Art then you will love this poster.
The print is beautiful. Exactly what I expected and arrived on time. Customer service is top notch. Would order again.
Ordered a print of "The Secret School" for my husband who has been hinting for it for a long while. The quality is *excellent* - I love it, and know he will too when he gets it as a gift! Very impressed with the quality -- also the packing... zero issues coming "across the pond" here to the US. :)
After finding the print I wanted to purchase I also chose a black wood frame with mount and the picture looks fantastic ,will definitely be ordering again .
I bought two prints and l love them both. The quality is very good.
They arrived very quickly and well packaged.
We just received the fine art print (artist PS Kroyer) and are thrilled. The quality of the print and the art paper used are extraordinary and preserve perfectly the colours of the original art. It was extremely well wrapped and packed in a very solid cardboard tube. I highly recommend Gallery Thane for their service and speed of completing our order.
Really great print, excellent quick service, thanks.
Fantastic service from James and delighted with the print , frame and delivery so prompt.
Highly recommend.
Bought this print to replace a faded framed copy. It arrived sooner than expected and very well wrapped. The paper was excellent quality. It’s back on the wall looking brighter and better than ever.
I was looking for something different to adorn my office walls following a recent refurbishment and these fitted the bill perfectly. I work for the company they were originally designed for, so really like the heritage and retro feel they bring. Paired with some black IKEA Ribba frames they look really striking. A little pricey, but worth the investment I feel.
I purchased this as a remembrance to my grandmother Mamoo, who was born in 1895. She had a print hanging in her living room. As a child I just loved it. I had it for years then passed it a long to her great granddaughter but I wanted a small print. It is just beautiful and I love it!
Great!!
Excellent company, no hesitation in recommending them at all. Order was posted within a day and arrived well packed. The print itself is fantastic quality. James was extremely helpful with a couple of questions I had. Many thanks.
Immediate dispatch and great quality.
This is not my first order from Gallery Thane and they never disappoint. The print quality of the paper are fantastic. They are my go to company whenever I'm buying a new print. Highly recommended.
