b. 1943<br> Robin Brooks is a maritime painter based in Devon, England. His paintings and prints are collected all over the world and span 250 years of maritime history. As each painting can take many months to complete, he produces only a few originals each year. In 1982, he accepted a commission from Captain Alistair Letty to paint Captain Cook's "Resolution" in the Antarctic, igniting a passion for the voyages of Cook. He subsequently began the series "Captain James Cook, Son of the Land, Master of the Sea". In 1997 he and his wife Mary set up a family business, Black dog Studios to promote his maritime work.<br> <br> For more information on Robin Brooks please visit www.blackdog-studios.com
