Antonio Jacobsen
Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (November 2, 1850 – February 2, 1921) was a Danish-born American maritime artist known as the "Audubon of Steam Vessels".〔
==Biography==
Jacobsen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark where he attended the Royal Academy of Design before heading across the Atlantic Ocean.〔 He arrived in the United States in August 1873.〔http://www.familydenmark.dk〕 He settled in West Hoboken, New Jersey (now Union City, New Jersey), across the Hudson River from Manhattan and New York Harbor, its port filled with ships from America and around the world.〔Halasz, Piri. "Art: Maritime Theme at Exhibitions; Appeal of Nostalgia History and Humor Portraits of Vessels", ''The New York Times'', January 21, 1973.〕 Jacobsen got his start painting pictures of ships on safes, and as his reputation grew, he was asked to do portraits of ships by their owners, captains and crew members, with many of his works sold for five dollars.〔
Jacobsen painted more than 6,000 portraits of sail and steam vessels, making him "the most prolific of marine artists".〔Maddry, Larry. ("Maritime Artist Finally Gets Brush with Success" ), ''The Virginian-Pilot'', December 17, 1994. Accessed December 25, 2007. "That was understandable – the Danish-born American holds the distinction of being the most prolific of marine artists. Jacobsen documented thousands of sail and steam vessels that frequented New York Harbor between 1873 and 1919. It is believed that he painted more than 6,000 portraits."〕 Many of his commissions came from sea captains, and Jacobsen was chosen both for the accuracy of his work and his low fee.〔Falkenstein, Michelle, et al. ("Jersey Footlights" ), ''The New York Times'', June 1, 2003. Accessed December 25, 2007. "He won many commissions from sea captains, and may have made as many as 6,000 paintings in his lifetime, historians believe. As a painter of vessels, ''Jacobsen was the most prolific, and the cheapest,'' said Bob Foster, director of the Hoboken Historical Museum, which has a show of his paintings. ''The captains really loved his work. It was not a romanticized version – it was the way the ship really looked.''"〕
