Joseph Horlor
British 19th century Victorian River cottage landscape with fisherman

Circa 187

About the Item

Wonderful Antique Victorian Welch River landscape , with fisherman casting his line. Joseph Horlor was born in Bath in 1809 and was a landscape painter of Welsh scenes and coastal views. By 1871 he was living in Bristol with his family. He married Elizabeth Sandys in 1830 and had four children. Both his daughters also became artists, Emma painting animals and Alice figures. He died in 1887. He exhibited 13 paintings at the British Institution and 11 at Suffolk Street (later the RBA) between 1834 and 1866. There are 8 of his paintings in the National Collection, 3 at Bristol Museum, 2 at National Trust properties, a at Shipley Art Gallery, 1 at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath and 1 at the Holbourne Museum. He may have been related to the animal painter George William Horlor, as they both lived in the same area of the country, but we have been unable to confirm this. He is listed in the Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood and Gray's Dictionary, where his exhibits are listed. Auction results for this artist are available at the usual sites.

The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature.
