内容説明
'Geoff Hunt"s pictures, perfectly accurate in period and details, but very far from merely representational, are often suffused with a light reminiscent of Canaletto" Patrick O'Brian "...his paintings, perhaps more than those of any other artist, have a compelling immediacy and sense of vitality, especially in his work of the great age of sail" Julian Stockwin Geoff Hunt is known to millions of readers across the world as the artist responsible for the covers of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels, and more recently for those of Julian Stockwin's Thomas Kydd books. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the leading marine artists of his generation. More than a showcase of the versatility and creativity of his work, this book, written by the artist himself, also reveals its accuracy, through 5 key case studies that explain the initial inspirations, gathering of source material and often lengthy artistic progression that leads to the creation of a finished painting. The artist has selected over 150 paintings and sketches to illustrate his prolific career, painting techniques and influences, dividing them into sections on Nelson's Navy, The American War of Independence, illustrating the naval writers and the Modern Maritime Scene, which includes recent commissions from the commercial sector and yachting community.

「ネルソンとパトリック・オブライアンの世界」という副題が付いている。パトリック・オブライアンとはジャックオーブリーシリーズの原作者で、同シリーズは大森洋子氏の翻訳本がある。映画マスター・アンド・コマンダーにもなったこのシリーズの表紙絵を描いているのが本誌のジェフ・ハントである。同じハヤカワ文庫のキッドシリーズ(大森洋子氏訳）の表紙絵もジェフ・ハントである。内容は素晴らしいの一言。大型本の約140頁のほぼ全ページに1800年頃の帆船をテーマにしたマリンペイントが掲載されており、写真と見まがうほどの細密な描写。同時にその絵のデッサンも多数掲載されている。波、空、そしてその他の情景を含めて、200年前の帆船の活きた姿を見ることができる。帆船模型を作るにも、またジオラマを作ろうとする場合も必携の一冊である。

帆船製作の第一人者のお墨付きだから、内容に関しては太鼓判。帆船のプランはどうしても平面的で、その不足分をこの本は圧倒的重量感と質感で補い、彩色の際にも大いに参考になる。ページをめくるのが惜しいようなすばらしいアートの連続。帆船に関する洋書を読んだ人なら、どこかで見たような絵に随所でお目にかかることになる。子供の頃に見た小松崎茂の描く零戦や大和の世界を思い出した。そのロマンが大人の世界に再び蘇る。一般に洋書はamazon.comより高い値段設定だけれど、ここでは安く買えるのも魅力。

Wonderful collection of marine paintings
2006/10/26
形式:ハードカバー
Geoff Hunt is possibly the most talented marine artist since Montague Dawson. This book contains dozens of prints of his most beautiful paintings, which in many cases are complete with earlier versions from line drawings to colour sketches. There are many descriptions of how the paintings came to be created, from who commissioned each one to the ideas the artist had about how to execute the commission and how he turned it real.
Most of the subjects concern warships of Nelson's era, though there are a few drawings and paintings of more modern warships or civilian ships. in particular, there are many paintings of the ships of the line in which Nelson served, many of them illustrating real incidents from Nelson's service career. The book also contains a large number of paintings illustrating ships and scenes from the Jack Aubrey novels written by Patrick O'Brien. (In fact, many of the ships which appear in these novels were real historical units which are faithfully reproduced in the book covers and other paintings included - in Hunt's words, "In most cases Patrick press-gangs real ships into his novels.")
The book also includes a number of studies of United States sailing ships, including the first US ship of the line (America) being built, pictures of the USS Constitution, and "General Washington's Wolfpack." Much as it pains me to mention a gentleman who was born in Whitehaven (the town where I live) but subsequently came back commanding an enemy squadron and raided the town, this book also includes some beautiful pictures of naval scenes from the life of John Paul Jones.
Geoff Hunt manages to make ships of the line and frigates from the era of fighting sail incredibly beautiful, but he also goes to some length to make his pictures realistic, even consulting the original logbooks of the ships concerned when he is trying to capture real feats of seamanship. He also consulted the original signal code books before painting the signal flags flown by his warships, so they spell out appropriate messages in the codes of the period.
If you are attracted to pictures of ships from the era of fighting sail, you will love this book.

The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt
2008/7/28
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Anyone who enjoys marine art will really appreciate this book, not just for the great work by Geoff Hunt, but for the insights into his work. One of the most fascinating tidbits was his attention to the detail of the actual angle of the sun on the sails in the picture "Victory races Temeraire" at their location on 21 October 1805! The case studies of 5 of his works provides wonderful information about the genesis, development and completing of a great piece of art.

To understand the work behind the art
2010/9/23
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
If you're a Patrick O'Brian fan, you have to get this , sooner or later.
I won't comment on the actual paintings (it's art, it's up to you whether you like it or not), but it's impressive the amount of work behind every single one one them.
Just a little disappointment : I was expecting more pages dedicated to the Aubrey / Maturin saga (actually I hope for the whole series, while there are some 15)
