Until recently, the remarkable work of the late maritime artist, my father, John Chancellor has been available through a gallery in Torquay, England. Following a change of direction, the gallery no longer deals in classic maritime art and as his daughter I haven taken the opportunity to purchase the back-stock of unsold limited edition prints of his work. These are now available online through my website, www.johnchancellor.co.uk
I wholly believe in my father’s work and know his pictures will be sought after, not only by past followers, but by a new generation of seamen and those who appreciate the magnificence of the sea and who understand its power over the vessels who sail on her. My father was in awe of those ‘heroes’ who mastered the old sailing and merchant ships, without the benefit of modern technology, and whose skills largely went unsung. He would be delighted to be keeping the promotion of his work ‘in the family’ and I will honour that by providing the very best in customer service and attention to detail - he would expect nothing less.
Further information about my father - John Chancellor, the man and his intricately detailed and accurate paintings, and family life from a daughter’s viewpoint are available on the site. Since I began promoting his prints, I have delighted in the response from those who know him as a person or admired his work and who tell me of the pleasure his paintings bring to them. It is a constant source of comfort to me and I welcome other’s recollections or reactions to his very fine work.
