Artist Biography
Painter, watercolourist, engraver. Fishing scenes, interiors, landscapes with figures, landscapes, seascapes.
Henry Moore was the son and pupil of the portrait painter William Moore and the brother of Albert and Edwin. He went to London in 1853, where he studied at the Royal Academy School, but like his brothers, he found the official teaching hard to tolerate. He exhibited in London from 1853, and went on to feature frequently at the Royal Academy, the Suffolk Street Gallery, the British Institution and the Grosvenor Gallery. He was appointed an associate of the Royal Academy in 1885 and a member in 1892. He was also a member of the Watercolours Society.
Moore began by painting interiors, then travelled, visiting France, Switzerland and Ireland, and around 1870, he adopted the genre in which he was to make his name: painting the sea in all its various aspects and different lights. When a bad storm was forecast, he would sometimes cross England in order to observe it. He is considered to be one of the best British seascape painters.

- Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape SceneLocated in Firenze, ITA luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...Category
