Original Description
Edoardo de Martino’s The Chartered Royal Yacht Ophir is a masterful maritime painting that captures the grandeur of 19th-century naval power with remarkable dynamism. Depicting the luxurious royal yacht Ophir—commissioned for the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York’s 1901 tour—the painting brims with motion, as the vessel cuts through waves under billowing sails, its polished hull gleaming against a dramatic seascape. De Martino, renowned for his precise yet expressive naval scenes, blends realism with Romanticism, showcasing his skill in rendering light, water, and intricate ship details. As the official painter to the British Royal Navy, his works are celebrated for their historical accuracy and artistic vigor, making Ophir a significant piece in maritime art history, reflecting both imperial prestige and the golden age of sail.
For interior spaces, this painting would elevate a study, luxury office, or nautical-themed living room with its commanding presence. Ideal for a wall with ample natural light, its blues and golds pair beautifully with rich wood furnishings, brass accents, or deep navy textiles. Choose a prominent spot—such as above a mantle or behind a desk—to emphasize its scale (original works by de Martino often exceed 1 meter in width). Frame it in a gilded or dark-stained wood frame to harmonize with its classical tone. In modern spaces, balance its traditional style with minimalist decor, letting the artwork’s energy become the focal point. Smaller reproductions could suit gallery walls, paired with other maritime prints or monochrome photography for contrast.
