Antonio Jacobsen Paintings
American, 1850-1921
Antonio Jacobsen was a Danish-born American maritime artist known as the Audubon of Steam Vessels. Jacobsen's Painted Ships on Painted Oceans, includes some 100 color pictures of the artist's ship paintings. The public rooms of The Griswold Inn in Essex, Connecticut, the oldest continuously run tavern in the United States, features the largest privately held collection of Jacobsen's paintings. John McMullen, a naval architect and marine engineer, had a collection that included 75 paintings by Jacobsen, the first two of which were found in the 1940s in the offices of the family ship repair business. On February 19, 2006, Fetching The Mark, an unsigned painting of the racing yacht Dreadnought attributed to Jacobsen, was sold at auction for $281,000, more than triple the highest price previously paid for one of Jacobsen's works. The piece had been brought to an Antiques RoadShow event in Tampa, Florida, and had originally been thought to be a work of Jacobsen's contemporary James E. Buttersworth, until further research led to a conclusion that it was by Jacobsen.

Antonio Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to a family of violin makers. He was an accomplished string player and throughout his life music was to remain an avocation.
He studied at Copenhagen's Royal Academy, and emigrated to the the United States in 1871. He frequented the harbor around Battery Park, sketching, until he was hired by the Marvin Safe Company to decorate safes. Subsequently he received commissions from sea captains, ship owners, and steamship companies.
The Old Dominion Line, the Fall River Line, and the White Star Line hired him to paint visual records of their entire fleets; he also received commissions from the Clyde, Black Ball, Mallory, Anchor, and the Red Star Lines.
Jacobsen's style is often, though not exclusively, characterized by a flattened perspective. He had a complete understanding of ships and achieved great accuracy of detail in his works.
In 1878 Jacobsen married; he remained in New York City until 1880, when he moved to Hoboken, New Jersey. His home became a gathering place for marine artists including James Bard, Fred Cozzens, Fred Pansing, James Buttersworth, Worden Wood...
