Fort George Island, Florida
by Thomas Moran
About the Artwork
At a time when the northeast coast of Florida was becoming a popular tourist destination, Thomas Moran visited the area in February and March of 1877. He made many sketches around St. Augustine and Jacksonville. During the coming months, back in his Newark, NJ, studio, the artist used these sketches as source material for more than a dozen oil paintings, including Fort George Island, Florida.
