About the Artist
Charles Frith is an American painter celebrated for his expressive interpretations of the New Jersey coastline. His work often features Cape May, Delaware Bay, beaches, marshes, and maritime landscapes, using bold brushwork and luminous color to capture changing light and atmosphere rather than photographic detail.
Painted in 1994, Cape May – End of Island showcases many of the qualities collectors appreciate in Firth's work: dramatic skies, energetic brushstrokes, and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the Jersey Shore. The handwritten title on the reverse identifies this scene as "Cape May '94 – End of Island," referring to the area surrounding Cape May Point and Sunset Beach, where the historic lighthouse overlooks Delaware Bay.
