Excellent condition.He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, graduating in 1912. After World War I, he devoted himself full-time to etching, the printing process that relies on acid to "bite" out an image drawn on a metal plate.From his early interest in sketching,Arms developed a successful career as a graphic artist in the 1920s and 1930s. He specialized in etchings of medieval churches and cathedrals, hoping to convey the glory of earlier ages that endured in Europe's architecture. Arms made several trips to France, Spain, and Italy to draw such buildings. Beginning with studies of architectural details, he later rendered entire facades and finally a great number of buildings and their reflections in water, as in The Grand Canal. In addition to his medieval subjects, Arms made a series of prints of American cities.[This is an excerpt from the interactive companion program to the videodisc American Art from the National Gallery of Art. Produced by the Department of Education Resources, this teaching resource is one of the Gallery's free-loan educational programs.] See John Taylor Arms A Man For All Time The Artist and His Work by William Dolan Fletcher page166 for more information on this etching.

Item # 4566
Click HERE to inquire about this item
This painting depicts the Sabine, an 1855 American Civil War frigate, and the Franklin, a 1797 French Tonnant-class ship of the line (named for Benjamin Franklin), meeting in the Mediterranean port of Ville Franche in 1869. The Sabine was on a midshipman training cruise and the aging Franklin was assigned to harbor duty. This painting depicts the crews of both ships, and the beautiful port of Ville Franche. The painting is annotated at the lower left "Ville Franche" Dec 16 1869 Sabine. It is signed at the lower right Franklin W. R. May USN. The frame measures 44 and one half inches by 31 and one half inches, and the canvas measures 26 inches by 40 inches. This is an important depiction of American maritime history painted by one of the crew members. The painting was purchased from a New London, CT, estate, over 40 years ago. It was restored in 1998 by Lance Mayer and Gay Myers, the conservators for the Lyman Allen Museum in New London, CT. According to their notes, they consolidated insecure paint; removed a heavy grime layer and deteriorated varnish; mended three tears; relined the canvas; mounted it to a new stretcher; filled and inpainted losses at the tears; and varnished it. All processes and materials used are reversible.
