Edward Seago (1910-1974)

Between 1951 and 1967 Seago made eight major painting trips to France. He frequently sailed his boat Capricorn across the Channel and would moor in the Basin of Honfleur before beginning his journey up the Seine to Paris. This area was of particular significance as it was the terroir of the artist Eugene Boudin, one of the greatest influences on Seago's artistic development.
