A well-executed seascape of a Dutch fishing boat and other vessels by Thomas Sewell Robins. A large boat is shown preparing to drop anchor off a shore as a rowing boat makes its way out towards it. To the right along the shore can be seen an inn with other figures and a horse.
Thomas Sewell Robins was born on 8 May, 1810 in Devonport near Plymouth to William Robins and Elizabeth Sewell. He showed an early artistic talent for art and in 1829 he entered the Royal Academy under the sponsorship of the artist James Northcote, who was also from Devon. He studied under Thomas Phillips and was also tutored by JMW Turner. He made his debut at the RA in 1829 and began exhibiting at the British Institution from 1832. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street and the New Watercolour Society, where he was made an Associate in 1839.
He married Elizabeth Roberts, who was from North Wales at St Pancras on 15 November, 1834. Together they lived at 31 Cirencester Place in London and later 24 Victoria Road, Kensington with their daughter Delia Elizabeth. He seems to have spent his time travelling around the country spending time in Wales and Brighton, using his Victoria Road address as a long term base.
Much of Robins’s output consisted of marine and coastal scenes. His early experience of living near a port undoubtedly provided the inspiration for his subject matter. As well as painting many scenes of the British coast, he also travelled abroad, first visiting France in 1842 and later Holland, Italy and Germany. During the 1860’s his ill health forced him to stop travelling and reduce his workload. Robins died at Victoria Road, Kensington on 9 August, 1880. He is buried at Brompton Cemetery.
Examples of his work are held by many public collections including the British Museum, Dover Collections, National Maritime Museum, Newport Museum & Art Gallery, Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust and the V&A.
Presentation: The work is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

- Pair of 19th century landscape oil paintings of the River Avon & Berwyn ValleyBy John Bates NoelLocated in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 19 INCHES X 23 INCHES** John Bates Noel British, (1870-1927) On the Avon & In the Berwin Valley Oil on canvas, pair, both signed, also signed & inscribed verso Image size: 12 inches x 16 inches (each) Size including frame: 19 inches x 23 inches (each) John Bates Noel was born John Noel Bates in Worcester in 1870. He was the son of the landscape artist David Bates (1840-1921) but later on changed his professional name to avoid confusion. The family lived in Worcestershire as well as in Birmingham and it was highly likely that he was encouraged and taught by his father as their subject matter and style bear similarities, although John’s compositions tend to be more fluid and looser. By the turn of the century Noel was living in Malvern where he also taught art. He specialised in painting the rugged landscapes in and around the West Midlands, Worcestershire and North Wales. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1893-1909 and at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists between 1892-1919. He also exhibited works at some of the major galleries of the time including the Manchester City Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. The building in the painting 'On the Avon' is believed to be that of St Margaret's Church at Wolston in Warwickshire. The structures at the front of the church appear to be thatched hay ricks, which are similar to ones seen in an old postcard of the church seen from the river Avon...Category
