Painting, James Fulton Pringle, American Privateer Schooner Under Full Sail Offshore
James Fulton Pringle (Anglo American, 1788-1847)
Date/Period: Circa 1808-1847
Measurement: Frame: 24" x 30"; view: 17.25" x 23.5"
Material: Oil on canvas
Condition: Lined, scattered inpainting, displays well, blacklight images available
Additional Information: In 1800, James Pringle exhibited his first work at the Royal
Academy: 'View of a seventy four on the stocks, and the launch of a frigate'
(probably observed by the artist at the Deptford Yard, as he was then residing
on Kent Street in Deptford). Little is known about his life or artistic
output over the next ten years, although Pringle apparently traveled to the
United States sometime prior to the War of 1812 in the capacity of a sailor,
possibly settling there. In 1811, the American merchant ship in which he was
serving was stopped at sea by a Royal Navy frigate and Pringle, being English
born, was pressed into service. Pringle subsequently exhibited four additional
marine works at the Royal Academy between 1812 and 1818, with Syndenham (his
place of birth) listed as his address, although it is likely that he was still
in Royal Navy service during part of this period). He seems to have been a
wandering spirit and traveled extensively until 1828 (probably as a working
mariner for at least part of this time span), when he arrived in New York and
resumed active work as a marine painter, exhibiting frequently at the National
Academy of Design between 1832 and 1844, as well as the Apollo Association and
the Brooklyn Institute. He later relocated from Manhattan to Brooklyn (1835)
and lived and worked there until his death on April 1, 1847. Pringle later
added a middle name, Fulton, apparently derived from his home address of
Fulton Street, to distinguish himself from another James Pringle then living
in Brooklyn (who was mentally imbalanced and died shortly after being
institutionalized).
Possibly self-taught, Pringle specialized in marine paintings, landscapes,
and occasionally, portraiture. Pringle's well-populated views of the early
New York waterfront are an admixture of landscape and genre works, carefully
delineated, yet charming in their naivety. In his day, Pringle was
well-known and considered one of the best of the marine painters then
working in the United States but has unfortunately been too long overlooked
in the historiography of American marine painting.
This portrait of an unidentified American schooner under sail, off a
mountainous coastline with three vessels anchored in the distance, may relate
to the War of 1812. From her lines and her sharply raked masts, she
appears to be a Baltimore-built clipper (although gaff-rigged, rather than
a topsail schooner like Chasseur-- perhaps the most famous of the Baltimore
privateers), a fast vessel ideally suited to such a role; the cannon visible
in the open gunports, as well as the lack of any mercantile flag at her
mainmast, would suggest that she is involved in such a warlike pursuit.

Susan (Moore) Waters, a self-taught artist (1823-1900) was born in Binghamton, New
York, her family moved to Friendsville, Pennsylvania where she was raised. Albeit self-
taught she enjoyed and demonstrated enough talent and skill to earn her tuition in
seminary school by producing natural history drawings for one of her instructors.
During her artistic career of nearly 60 years, her oeuvre included two different bodies
or work; she is well-known for her early naively-rendered portraits. Waters would
eventually become a successful still-life and animal painter, displaying a level of
proficiency rarely achieved by folk painters. Her highly accomplished still-life paintings
and animal pictures were in demand as fashionable parlor ornaments.
Mrs. Waters exhibited in the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia; her work is
represented in the collections of the New York State Historical Association, Wiltshire
College, Newark Museum, Cortland County Historical Society, and the Arnot Art
Museum among others.

in 1825 by John Latrobe and was dedicated in 1828.
The painting was exhibited at the U.S. Department of State, Art in Embassies Program.
