Charles Towne is the leading Liverpool landscape, animal and sporting painter of the first half of the nineteenth century. In his early work, his drawing is charmingly naive and provincial, and shows an awareness of the contemporary work of Thomas Stringer and, ultimately, George Stubbs, both of whom were from the same geographical area.
By the late 1790's he had developed more sophisticated draughtsmanly skills which are his subsequent hallmark throughout a long career. He was born in Wigan in 1763, but passed most of his working life in Liverpool; his frequent employment in rural Lancashire and Cheshire arose from a wide patronage among the local gentry. He visited London in the late 1790's, where he was noted in Farrington's "Diaries", and it seems likely that it was here that his techniques developed their more sophisticated aspects. His first painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1799. In the next decade he appears to have been itinerant (his name is missing from the Liverpool Directories for these years), but by the end of the decade, he was sufficiently well-known in that City to be a founder, and the Vice-President of Liverpool Academy. He died in Liverpool on 6th January 1840, the possessor of a considerable local and national reputation

Charles Towne
Charles Towne was an English painter of landscapes, horses and other animals with a particular skill for horse racing and hunting scenes. Born in Wigan, his talent for art was apparent from a young age, and he received some training from John Rathbone in Leeds. By the 1790s, Towne was an established animal painter with style reminiscent of Stubbs. He lived in London from 1799–1804, during which he exhibited at the Royal Academy. Towne's work was well regarded by his contemporaries, including Joseph Farington.

- The Hunt Breaking coverBy Samuel Alken Jnr.Located in Stoke, HampshireSamuel Alken Jnr (1784-1825) The Hunt Breaking cover Signed 'S. Alken.' lower right Oil on canvas Canvas size - 24 x 36 in Framed size - 31 x 42 1/2 in Samuel Alken junior was the eldest son of Sporting artist Samuel Alken (1756-1815), he was born on April 10th. The family mostly became sporting artists, his younger brothers Henry Thomas (Ben Tally Ho), George and Sefferien. Little is known about his life, in his father's will he was the only son mentioned, but this was to leave him 1s., which presumably was a derogatory legacy perhaps because, as Shaw Sparrow suggests, he traded on his father's name, signing in the same manner. However, as he often signed quite clearly S. Alken Jnr one feels it unlikely, but it does imply S. Alken Snr also painted sporting pictures. There has always been great confusion over the Samuel Alkens and for a long time they were looked upon as one person. number of prints were published after Samuel Junior's work including a set of sixteen published in the early 1820's depicting various sports, including hunting, racing, shooting and fishing. In the works recorded by him, his style would seem closer to that of Barenger. A lot of small wooded shooting scenes...Category
