About ‘Boston Harbor, Fitz Henry Lane’
Boston Harbor, Fitz Henry Lane
Boston Harbor in the 1850s proved an ideal subject for Lane. In this scene he presents different
types of ships from various perspectives—a head-on view of a large, square-rigged bark at left; a port-side view of a steamer packet moving into the scene at center; and a profile view of a sleek, sharp-hulled modern clipper at right. These and a scattering of towboats, fishing vessels, and other craft are naturally placed about the harbor, just as the artist might have observed them.
