Lane, Richard - USA (30)

Category: PAINTERS

LaneRV Richard Lane began to develop an interest in Marine Art and History at a very young age, spending summers in Cape Cod and Nantucket, Massachusetts. He studied fine art and illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Richard graduated in 1977, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

After art school Richard worked for ten years at a decorative design studio in New York City specializing in Trompel’ Oeil, murals and original oil paintings. In 1994 he gave up his career in the decorative arts to devote full time to painting his favorite subject.

LaneR2Richard’s keen interest in American Nautical History has been the inspiration for his work as a fine artist. It is the romantic yet powerful yachts of past America’s Cup races, as well as the graceful fishing schooners of Gloucester and Boston that he so effectively captures on canvas. He does extensive research for his paintings, using museum ship models, old photographs from museum archives and actual blue prints of the boats themselves.
Fifteen years ago he started building wooden ship models from scratch so he could understand the construction of the boats and the mechanics of the rigging. Richard is a member of the “Ship Model Society of New Jersey”. He strives for absolute accuracy in his paintings.

At the December 3, 2008 Christie’s New York Maritime sale, a 30” x 48” historical painting by Richard painted in 2006 sold for a record price of $27,500.
