Edward Moran (Pennsylvania, New York, 1829 – 1901)
“Grand Manan Coast”
Coastal Seascape painting. Housed in a later added 22k gold leaf fluted cove frame. Seascapes were Edward Moran’s fort. By the 1880s, the artist was considered such an expert on the subject that his “hints for practical study’ of marine painting were published in the September and November, 1888, issues of the Art Amateur. After his death, an admirer wrote that “As a painter of the sea in its many moods and phases, Edward Moran … had no superior in America.”
