Maritime

It's not surprising that we hold an important collection of maritime paintings here at Hull Museums.

This unique collection includes works by Richard Parkes Bonington, John Ward and William Frederick Settle. (Those last two are especially important as they represent the nineteenth-century Hull School of Marine Painting.)

We also have seascapes and maritime work by modern and contemporary artists like Keith Vaughan and Spencer Tunick.
