Biography: Jacobsen Antonio Nicolo Gasparo was born on November 2, 1850, in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was a Danish-born American maritime artist but much more a painter of boats and ships than of seascapes. Jacobsen was most successful of the late 19th and early 20th century American ship portraitists. Jacobsen studied at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen. In 1871 he immigrated to America and took a job to paint decorations on commercial safes for the Marvin Safe Company in New York City. Jacobsen turned his attention towards portraits of ships and marine images and in 1880 he relocated his studio and residence permanently to West Hoboken, New Jersey. In 1873 he arrived in New York. During his last few years Jacobsen enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle, which reflected the financial success of his life’s achievement. As to his artistry, viewers of his exhibitions can hardly fail but be always impressing. Many of his works were commissioned by European sea captains and owners, and so found their way to Europe. Jacobsen deserves to be remembered for what he painted as much as for how he painted. We need to stress the wide range of vessel types and sizes which, drawn by the commercial magnetism of the port of New York, paraded together before Jacobsen’s eyes, to be ultimately captured on his canvases. Sail and steam, commercial and naval, large, and small, all manner of craft found representation in his work. He died on February 2, 1921, in the USA. Today, his paintings can be found in important private and public collections, including in Amsterdam Scheepvaart Museum, Briston Art Gallery, Maritime Museum Kronborg Castle (Elsinore), National Maritime Museum (Greenwich), Altonaer Museum (Hamburg), Museu de Marinha (Lisbon), Mystic Seaport Museum, Nederlands Postmuseum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, Mariners’ Museum (Newport News, Verginia), Peabody Museum of Salem, Penobcot Marine Museum (Searsport, Maine).
