Warren Sheppard, American (1858-1937). Warren Sheppard was born in Greenwich, New Jersey and studied in New York under MFH de Haas. He also studied naval architecture in the area of yacht designing. By the time he was in his mid-thirties, he had established himself as a successful illustrator and painter. The yachts he painted were the most lavish of his day, owned by the wealthiest of men. He was an expert in the design and rigging of ships of present and earlier times. His work was highly regarded for its authenticity as well as its artistic merit. Sheppard was also a navigator of racing yachts and sailed widely along the New England coast. He won the famous New York-to-Bermuda race and published an authoritative book titled "Practical Navigation". He was also known for his canal scenes of Venice. Sheppard exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association, the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. Paintings by Sheppard are in the Mystic Seaport Museum, CT, the Addison Gallery of American Art, Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo, the Museum of Art, Springfield, MA, and the Museum of Art, Toledo, OH. In this beautiful luminous painting, Sheppard captures the warm glow of the sunset and the rays of light reflecting on the translucent waves of the ocean. "Sailing at Sunset", Signed lower right.
