English: BPLDC no.: 09_03_000073
Subtitle: The ship of romance, Great Harry Creator: King, Frederic Leonard (American painter and illustrator, 1879-1947) Date created: 1934-1935 General format: oil on canvas BPL Department: Special Collections, East Boston Branch Library Dimensions: visible image 22 ½ x 43 ½ in., framed 25 ½ x 46 ½ in. Description: Built by King Henry VIII in the 16th century, this vessel was of more than a thousand tons burden and it carried 34 large guns and a vast armament of smaller guns. It was called Great Harry which served as a pattern for all the naval engineers of the next hundred and fifty years. In the background of the painting is the Mary Rose, the "ship of the cloth of gold." Notes: The description above was written in 1935. Ships Through the Ages, originally four murals painted by Frederic Leonard King between 1934 and 1935, was commissioned as part of the Public Works Art Project for the Jeffries Point Branch of the Boston Public Library. In 1956, the Jeffries Point Branch closed, and each mural was divided into multiple paintings and relocated to the East Boston Branch Library where they are currently on display; however, several sections of the murals are missing. |
