  • Mr Hunts paintings have fascinated me for years. The ships under sail, working at their trade, war, is endlessly interesting. The intricacy of their construction, the complexity if their design and the difficulty in operating these large sail powered vessels is depicted with detail and accuracy, giving a feeling of what it must have been like to observe these magnificent vessels, the height of technology at the time, as they went about their business!

    I really enjoy these paintings and would love to see the originals!

  • The colossal weight of a ship of the line, the sea right before my eyes, Geoff Hunt brought that world into focus like the Hubble brought us distant galaxies. He places the viewer into at live, real world of light and color, and then he does what? With great generosity he opens his studio to us and shares a bit of his method for approaching this spectacular subject. I've started the Aubrey Maturin series for the fourth time now and the images bring that world of 200 years ago to life. The movie fills in the faces, even Killick's unfortunately, but Geoff Hunt has rigged me up a bosun's chair and hauled me aboard a hansom fleet, one carefully painted ship at a time.

  • Having long admired the paintings of Geoff Hunt, I was thrilled to find a collection of his works under one cover. The surprise was, in addition to the paintings, a wonderful brief autobiography of "how I got started" by the author/painter. I have Patrick O'Brian's complete collection of the Aubrey/Maturin series. Each one having a Geoff Hunt painting on the cover. I don't know how else to review a book of paintings but to say for anyone to want a wonderful collection of marine art, this is the book for you. And if you've yet to read Patrick O'Brian. Start spending some money on Amazon. You won't regret it.

  • 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.

  • This book is absolutely stunning. The content within the book is both highly informational and interesting. And of course, the pictures are incredible. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in art, ships/boats, or a combination thereof.

  • Do you enjoy marine art? Are you a fan of Patrick O'Brian? Are you a deovtee' of the art of Geoff Hunt? This lovely book will give you hours of pleasure and enlightenment. If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above, this book is a must.

  • It was a lot of fun reading his "behind the cover" stories of the Aubrey/Maturin books. Chock full of stunning images and interesting descriptions. What a master. Lucky UK.

  • Clearly Geoff Hunt is a master of art. Again, as with the Marine Painter's Guide, I was struck by the amount of research involved (even to taking into account the weather of the time and the maneuvering in close quarters required to clear an anchorage) of as well as the preliminary sketches and paintings necessary to produce a truly first-rate first rate. For the student of history, the marine artist, or someone who enjoys fine artistry, this book is a treasure!
