No other British etcher has celebrated the world of the sailing ship with more understanding than Arthur Briscoe. Briscoe portrayed not just sailing vessels and the sea itself but, in particular, he delighted in portraying seafaring men whilst at work. Briscoe's original prints are now generally acknowledged as the finest marine etchings of the 20th century, for his bold etched works display both the artist’s intimate knowledge of the sea and his innate mastery of the etching needle.
