19th Historical Marine Oil Painting Three Masted Schooner Sailing Ship Norwegian Wooden Barque

19th century
Description

Large Late 19th Century Oil Painting on Canvas of The Three Masted Vessel named PRONTO.

This historically important painting is the only known surviving example painted shortly after the vessels construction in 1892 and sometime before its demise after running ashore in bad weather and becoming a ship wreck thereafter in 1895

This painting provides the only detailed visual record of the vessel at sea other than the official black and white ship builders blue print plans.

The PRONTO was a wooden barque built by B Balchen & Co, Norway, in 1892.

Technical and configuration specifications are given as 369gt, 347nt 141ft 1in length x 29ft 4in breadth x 12ft 1in depth 1 deck.

At time of loss on 21 April 1895, the barque was still owned by its builder and under the command of master O A Hagen.

It was on passage from Mauritius to Garston with a cargo of sugar when it ran ashore at Porth-Post and became stranded.

A barque, barc, or bark is a type of sailing vessel with three or more masts having the fore- and mainmasts rigged square and only the mizzen (the aftmost mast) rigged fore-and-aft.

Archaeological remains associated with the loss of this vessel are not confirmed at this location, but may be in the vicinity.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

19th-century marine oil paintings document the era of sail and early steam propulsion, depicting merchant vessels, warships, and atmospheric seascapes with technical accuracy regarding rigging and naval architecture.

Artists typically painted with oil-based pigments onto stretched linen or cotton canvas, applying protective varnish coatings and placing the finished works into timber or gilded frames.

Authentic period works typically exhibit natural canvas oxidation, uniform surface craquelure across older paint layers, historical accuracy in vessel rigging, and hand-cut timber strainers.

A marine painting functions well as a central focal point above a mantelpiece or sideboard, pairing effectively with dark timber furniture or contrasting minimalist contemporary decor.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and direct heat sources, removing loose surface dust gently with a clean, dry camel-hair brush.
