Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen (2. november 1850 – 2. februar 1921) var en danskfødt amerikansk marinemaler, der blev kendt som "Auduboninden for dampskibe".^[1]

Liv og virke[redigér | rediger kildetekst]

Jacobsen blev født i København og gik på Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi, før han rejste over Atlanterhavet.^[1] Han kom til USA i august 1873.^[2] Han bosatte sig i West Hoboken (nu Union City) i New Jersey, på den anden side af Hudson River fra Manhattan og New York Harbor, som var fyldt med skibe fra USA og resten af verden.^[3] Jacobsen begyndte at male billeder af skibe, og i takt med at hans omdømme voksede, blev han opsøgt af skibes ejere for at male deres skibe, kaptajner og medlemmer, og mange af hans værker blev solgt for 5 dollars.^[4]

Jacobsen malede over 6.000 portrætter af sejl- og dampskibe, hvilket gjorde ham til "den mest produktive marinemaler".^[4] Mange af hans bestillinger kom fra kaptajner, og Jacobsen blev valgt både som følge af hans nøjagtighed, men også for hans lave pris.^[5]

"That was understandable – the Danish-born American holds the distinction of being the most prolific of marine artists. Jacobsen documented thousands of sail and steam vessels that frequented New York Harbor between 1873 and 1919. It is believed that he painted more than 6,000 portraits."

"He won many commissions from sea captains, and may have made as many as 6,000 paintings in his lifetime, historians believe. As a painter of vessels, Jacobsen was the most prolific, and the cheapest, said Bob Foster, director of the Hoboken Historical Museum, which has a show of his paintings. The captains really loved his work. It was not a romanticized version – it was the way the ship really looked."
