William Mellor was a popular nineteenth century landscape painter. His parents, Joseph and Mary, were linen weavers and for a while William too worked as a loom tuner, responsible for the running of several power looms. The family also had a strong artistic talent though and whilst William was a child his father Joseph became a professional artist. By the age of 30 William too had become a professional landscape painter. His artistic development was undoubtedly influenced by his father and his early works share his style.
William himself was born in Barnsley, though his family moved to Leeds whilst he was young. In 1876 William married Mary Elizabeth Watson and they went on to have three sons and a daughter. During his professional life William travelled widely to paint, including large parts of north Wales and the Lake District, and moved his family to Scarborough, London, Manchester and Southport. His final move was back to Dragon Road, Harrogate in Yorkshire, where he lived until his death in 1931.
William painted in both oils and watercolors. He produced some beautiful tranquil scenes, creating a timeless record of classical British landscapes. His patient compositions typically depict lake or river views in summer or early autumn, using a warm palette, with an expert delicate depiction of foliage bathing in the glow of sunlight. His paintings show nature as serene, majestic, peaceful.
William Mellor was elected an Associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1884 and a full member in 1891. He exhibited widely between 1876 and 1910 and today his works appear in the collections of the Walker Gallery in Liverpool and the Manchester City Gallery. Nowadays his works are highly sought after by collectors.
This original watercolor painting depicts a waterfall flowing on the River Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed, with mountains in the background and a variety of trees in the glowing colors of autumn. In the foreground, between the stone boulders and delicate ferns, there is a wide pathway along the riverside, inviting the viewer to step inside and enjoy the majestic beauty of the scene.

William Mellor
William Mellor is best known for his landscapes of woodland with streams and hills in rural Wales, England and Scotland. He has a particular talent for detail with soft sunbathed light, filtering through trees in wood and golden tones. He worked and lived in Yorkshire, the Lake District, Scarborough and Wales, away from the artistic centers of London and Edinburgh/Glasgow. Mellor was the son of artist Joseph Mellor, who flourished as an artist from 1850, and the years following the birth of his son William in 1851. He died in 1885. Joseph Mellor painted woodlands and rural landscapes, sharing much of his style with his son. Both father and son excelled in creating atmospheric rural scenes with soft light, with Mellor especially developing the golden tones of autumn in his work. While William Mellor did not exhibit widely his work was renowned regionally. His plein art style renders a tenderness in simple rural scenes rather than the dramatic mountains and landscapes of other artists of his time. His work, and that of his father, continues to be popular among collectors of fine 19th century landscapes today.
