Charles Herbert Woodbury was famously obsessed with the sea, often spending weeks at a time on ocean liners to study wave patterns directly from the deck. His profound understanding of marine physics allowed him to render the weight and motion of the water with a precision that few other painters of his era could achieve. He founded a celebrated summer art school in Ogunquit, Maine, which became a vital hub for American maritime painting.
