MARINE ARTS

One of our specialist areas is in marine artists, an area where we have been active for many years, with considerable experience in dealing with painters of the 19th Century as well as contemporary artists.

David Howell

We are pleased to represent David Howell, who is the current president of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and who ranks as one of the finest exponents of watercolour painting in the UK.

Derek G M Gardner

We are also proud to have represented Derek G M Gardner, RSMA (1914 – 2007) at the Polak Gallery in London. Derek is considered to be the leading British marine artist of the 20th Century and we are delighted that we are able to continue showing his work on this site. We hold a fine selection of paintings and watercolours that we offer for sale as well as an archive showing paintings sold in the past.
