'… the paintings are simply spectacular … this is quite simply a work of art' - Jack Shaum, Powerships
'Brilliant book, he has captured the way the ships actually looked, rather than an artist's impression.
Recommended for any lover of ships and the sea' - Amazon
'The still young(ish) Robert Lloyd is one of the modern world’s most prolific marine painters. As with all successful artists, he paints for his market.
For the marine market, obviously, an artist must judiciously combine both technical accuracy and atmospherics. This is difficult and always involves compromise. Lloyd, however, achieves this admirably and this is no doubt a large part of the reason for his popularity.
As with most successful marine artists, Robert Lloyd’s output ranges over the full gamut of vessel types and situations. His subjects vary from fishing boats, through OSVs to tankers and cruise liners. His backgrounds vary from Korean shipyards, through North Sea storms to exotic tropical harbours.
Throughout, his work is well illustrated and described in this beautifully produced book, shows a strong affinity for the sea and ships and equally strong links with their souls' - Baird Maritime
'I am a great admirer of the maritime paintings of Robert Lloyd. This fine book, beautifully illustrated in colour, covers a range of vessels from giant tankers, cruise vessels of today and the past, ferries, super yachts, bulk carriers, coasters, sailing vessels, oil rig supply vessels and my favourites, the fine cargo vessels of days gone by. The artist’s range and wonderful talent shine through in this portfolio of his work. The ships come to life in his paintings, evoking wonderful memories of voyages in years past. His images convey the beauty and elegance of the famous passenger liners to the strength and utility of oil rig supply ships. The paintings are strongly complimented by the artist’s own commentary on the ships and companies represented. For any marine art enthusiast, indeed anyone with an interest in ships, this beautifully produced volume is a must'. - Sea Breezes
