Point Lobos Monterey Peninsula California Seascape Poster

This poster features a beautiful and dramatic rocky cliffs seascape with Monterey Cypress trees. This scene is a restored copy of "Out to Sea Point Lobos", a circa 1915 oil on canvas by the American painter Guy Rose, 1857-1925. Guy Orlando Rose was born March 3, 1867, in San Gabriel, California. He was the seventh child of Leonard John Rose and Amanda Jones Rose. His father was a prominent California senator. He and his wife raised their large family on an expansive Southern California ranch and vineyard - the San Gabriel Valley town of Rosemead bears the family name. Point Lobos and the Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is the "crown jewel" of California's 280 state parks. Australian-born landscape artist Francis McComas described the point as the "greatest meeting of land and water in the world." Adjoining Point Lobos is "one of the richest marine habitats in California." The ocean habitat is protected by two marine protected areas, the Point Lobos State Marine Reserve and Point Lobos State Marine Conservation Area.
