"The National Line's Steamer Italy by James E. Buttersworth" is a 19th-century maritime painting by the renowned Anglo-American marine artist James Edward Buttersworth (1817–1894). Known for his meticulous ship portraits and seascapes, Buttersworth captured the essence of the golden age of sail and the advent of steam-powered vessels. This particular work depicts the Steamer Italy, one of the iron steamships operated by the National Line, which provided transatlantic passenger and cargo services between England and the United States.

Buttersworth's painting is characterized by his attention to detail and his ability to convey the power and majesty of the ships he portrayed. The Steamer Italy is shown cutting through the waves, with its sails billowing and steam billowing from its funnel, showcasing the hybrid technology of the era that combined sail and steam power. The artist's skill in rendering the play of light on water and the intricate rigging of ships is evident in this work, making it a fine example of his maritime art.

The National Line's Steamer Italy is not only a testament to Buttersworth's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document of the period's maritime history. The National Line, officially known as the National Steam Navigation Company, was a significant player in the transatlantic shipping industry, and Buttersworth's painting provides a visual record of one of its important vessels.

As with many of Buttersworth's paintings, this work is likely to be appreciated by both art enthusiasts and maritime historians. It embodies the spirit of an era when ocean travel was undergoing significant changes and reflects the artist's lifelong fascination with the sea and the vessels that traversed it.
