Biography (courtesy Askart: The Artists' Bluebook): Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Robert Hopkin immigrated to the U.S. in 1843 and became a resident marine and landscape painter of Detroit, Michigan. From 1843 to his death on March 21, 1909, he resided almost continuously in Detroit, MI, excluding one year spent in Chicago, 1870. Hopkin opened his own studio in 1853, and created ship pictures, seascapes, landscapes, and decorative works. He was known for marine subjects and decorated the interiors of chokes, buildings, and passenger steamboats in Detroit, Canada, Denver, and New Orleans, among other cities. His best known works were his interior decorations for the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the Detroit Opera House. (Higher-resolution photos are available at www.caseantiques.com)Some light toning, and some abrasions to frame, overall very good condition.
