Jack Rigg

(British, born 1927)

Jack Rigg is a British maritime painter known for his realistic nautical scenes depicting a variety of ships and weather conditions. His works are notably created from a preliminary sketch or painting created from direct observation, as opposed to a photograph. Born in 1927 in Farsley, England, Rigg later served in the Royal Navy where he quickly developed a love of the sea and traveling abroad ships. From there, he used his experience as inspiration for his work, bringing an authentic level of detail to his many paintings. Today, his oeuvre can be found in the collections of the University of Hull Art Collection as well as Buckingham Palace. Rigg lives and works in Yorkshire, England.
