Dogwood Books & Gifts will host “Rembrandt’s Lost Secret”, a Book Talk & Signing with a reception featuring Artist Peter Arguimbeau, on Thursday, June 20 at 6:30 pm.
Peter Layne Arguimbau is a renowned marine painter, celebrated for his realistic paintings of boats and seascapes. The focus of his life’s work has been applying his skill through his love of the sea, producing masterpieces of America’s Cup contenders to every class of vessel ranging from fine racing sloops, schooners, catboats, and dinghies.
A Luminist painter, restorer, and historian of classical art, he also paints portraits, animals, and landscapes. Arguimbeau‘s works evoke a deep emotional response. His paintings convey the solitude and majesty of the sea, the hardiness of seafarers, and the timeless beauty of maritime landscapes. Viewers often feel a connection to the sea through his work, as if transported to the scene itself.
Peter sails on S/Y Molly Rose, a 30-foot catboat built in 1935, that he frequently uses as his summer studio. He regularly lectures and demonstrates on the technical evolution of oil painting of the Renaissance.
