The Titanic disaster has been widely depicted in art. Many artists of the time painted the giant ship. Century-old paintings offer insight into the era and recreate the atmosphere that surrounded the Titanic.
The monumentality of the Titanic and its exceptional seagoing performance even in the construction phase have attracted the special attention of artists. The ship has become a source of inspiration for many in art. The author of this painting is unknown.
Among the artists who painted the Titanic was British painter Charles Edward Dixon, whose work has enjoyed great popularity among art connoisseurs. The painting “Titanic Fitting-Out in Belfast 1912”
Charles Edward Dixon, who painted this scene, also painted other vessels besides the Titanic, including military ones. The painting “R.M.S. Titanic Clearing the Dockside at Southampton, 10th April, 1912”
Many of the paintings depict not only the sinking of the Titanic, but also the process of saving the vessel's passengers. These include American Impressionist Colin Campbell Cooper's painting “Rescue of the Survivors of the Titanic by the Carpathia.”
Yet the most important and central theme for many artists was the Titanic's demise. The painting “The Sinking of the Titanic” by German artist Willy Stoewer.
