Biography |
|
|
|
|
Robert Dodd was one of the leading maritime artists of his day, and was responsible for many of the images we have of the Napoleonic Wars. Apart from his stirring paintings of naval engagements, Dodd's speciality was ship portraiture, and he has left us with a substantial number of accurately delineated and vigorously drawn ships of both merchant and naval types. |

Dodd was not only a painter of considerable merit, but also an engraver of his own works. Consequently, his work achieved a much wider reputation than did that of many of his contemporaries. |
