Description

The Golden State Entering New York Harbor. Artist: Fitz Henry Lane (formerly Fitz Hugh Lane) (1804-1865). Dimensions: 26 x 48 in. (66 x 122 cm). Date: 1854.
Influenced by the English-born, Boston-based painter Robert Salmon, Lane, early in his career, painted the ports and shipping vessels of Boston; of his native Gloucester, Massachusetts; and, for a time in the early 1850s, of New York City. The clipper ship Golden State was built in New York in 1852 and, as its name suggests, plied the seas around Cape Horn to California when overland travel across the North American continent was still unreliable and before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 made it no longer necessary to take such an extensive southern detour. The skyline of New York, as seen from New Jersey, is delineated in the background. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
