I trust these will continue to provide classic ship enthusiasts
the information they are seeking, but above all a great deal of
pleasure!
Maritime Art
Please Note:
ALL Paintings on this page are © Copyrighted to their owners and
they must NOT be copied!
I am proud to support Maritime Artists from
around the world, including four artists from The Netherlands, Australia,
New Zealand and the United States. Paintings have a wonderful
texture as well as having a life of their own. Obviously, these
fine canvases are painted by men who have a genuine love of
Ocean-going passenger liners, cargo ships or tramp steamers! In
the near future, I hope to add further artists to this page thus
I suggest that you return often and see what is new on the
ssMaritime Art Page! Over the years I have collected many
painting’s myself and they hang proudly on the walls of my
home, as I believe it is good to support these wonderful artists!
Remember, if you have a favourite ship you can
contact any of these artists and commission them to paint a ship
of your choice, although sadly this is no longer possible for the
late Mr. Veldhuis.
If you are a maritime artist and wish to be
listed, please email me one or two of your works and if suitable
I will be more than happy to add you to this feature! Some of the
painters already online also paint cargo ships, tankers and other
working ships, as well as ferries, etc, thus it is not
exclusively passenger liners! Join the group and sell a few more
paintings, remember that to date - June 2020, ssmaritime has
received an amazing 536.7 million visitors.

Maritime Art by Dutch Artist Willem Johan Hoendervanger
Here we see a
painting of what was considered the most beautiful ship ever
built, the SS Nieuw Amsterdam
Willem has
painted many passenger liners - you can see below and on his site
As a young artist, Willem Johan Hoendervanger
graduated from the Academy of Art at Breda in the Netherlands in
2005. He said that “These years at college were very
instructive and educational.” After his graduation he
decided to fully commit himself to the field of maritime art.
Apart from other work interests, he paints regularly for (former)
seamen, maritime companies or anyone who has a love of ships and
the sea.
The
magnificent SS France seen in her glory days as a Trans-Atlantic
liner!
Having that special quality and nautical touch,
I decided to add him to the ssMaritime Art pages.
Is there a ship you really love? Why not
commission Willem to paint it for you.

see his Index at the bottom of his Page including more of his
works

Markant Gallery – Dutch Aritst Frans Romeijnsen
A painting of
the Holland America Line SS Rotterdam & SS Nieuw Amsterdam
Frans Daniel Romeijnsen was born in Terneuzen,
The Netherlands in 1944, and his father was also an artist. As a
child he started to become interested in drawing. Then, his
father decided that Frans was obviously more than interested in
art, thus he took him under his wing and began teaching him
various techniques, pastel, pencil and aquarelle. Later in life,
after military service Frans dedicated himself to painting with
oils. Ever since, he has been painting portraits, landscapes,
still life, but mostly sea and harbour scenes. Frans is a member
of the association of the Holland America Line and his paintings
of the great Dutch liners can be found on the websites of the Royal
Rotterdam Lloyd Museum and the Royal Dutch Steamship Association.
In addition to painting Frans teaches up to 40 students in his
Gallery.
Please Note: As the site is in Dutch and
could be difficult to navigate for some, I have placed an Index
of pages below with ships from a variety of companies for you to
visit and view. Enjoy the great work of a great artist!

New Zealand Maritime Artist - Wallace Trickett
P&O’s magnificent
liner - SS Himalaya painted by Wallace Trickett
Wallace Trickett has this superb talent and
loves to paint all kinds of vintage transport, but he excels in
painting ships be it the great liners or the lesser known ones as
well as a variety freighters. I highly recommend that you check
out his work as they are simply superb. At rhe bottom of the page
use the links to view the various paintings. Although most have
been sold, you can commission your most loved ship and these are
at reasonable rates and can be shipped worldwide. As you view the
website you will note that he has a special love for Blue Funnel
ships and he has painted dozens of them. Enjoy his work!
