Portrait of Alfred Copestick

Alfred Copestick is a Realism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This 19th-century painter built sweeping top-down views of busy ports, capturing docks and ships in crisp detail. In 1858 he turned his eye to New York Harbor, lining up Castle Garden and the Battery under clear skies. Step closer to see every mast and smokestack rendered in sharp lines against the water. Next, tap the same harbor scene to zoom into the flags and rigging that fill the foreground.
