Welcome to Annapolis Marine Art Gallery & John Barber Editions

It is our 34nd anniversary year! Please join us in 2012, our fourth decade in business. Our artists include: John Barber, the artistic essence of the Chesapeake, prints and original paintings, Willard Bond and the action of world-class sailboat racing: original oils and watercolors: Patrick O'Brien and the age of sail. Paul Landry has recently sent us an exciting collection of his maritime work. See John Ruseau's page for the best in watercolors - we have a new collection of his work on display. We display the originals of renowned artist John Stobart. Read about "Philadelphia," now on display, at left.

A word about art as an investment ... First and foremost, buy what you like. If other collectors buy work from the same artists, your piece will appreciate in value. As documented in recent fine art auctions, quality art as an asset class stands almost alone in its resistance to depreciation. You can derive joy from your investment in quality art every day along with the confidence that its value will "stick" over the long term.

She was a Baltimore clipper, a fast topsail schooner built in Baltimore. During the

the ship the "Pride of Baltimore" for her daring exploits The current reproduction

our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner.
