A maritime painter and illustrator, who became very well known during
his lifetime, James G. Tyler was born in Oswego, New York.
Underscoring his success and prominence is that fact that his signature
appeared on at least 100 forged paintings. Later, at the height of his
career, he successfully took legal action against forgers through the
District Attorney of New York City.
His interest in marine subjects began early, as by age 15 he was
showing fascination with the ocean (showing 500 of 4159 characters). |
