• Ralph Blakelock passed through Jamaica in the early 1870s, on his way back to the USA east coast, after a tour of the west and west coast, and crossing Panama. I have, so far, found no details of his visit to the island, but will keep looking!

      "Out of this experience, however, a new kind of painting, unprecedented in American art, appeared. Where else, in the painting of the time, are there landscapes like those inspired by his brief visit to Jamaica?"

Beyond Madness: The Art of Ralph Blakelock, 1847-1919

Other paintings of Jamaica by Blakelock may exist, somewhere!
