Charles Towne (1763–1840) was a distinguished English painter renowned for his detailed and lifelike depictions of animals, particularly horses, cattle, and hunting scenes. Born in Wigan, Lancashire, he was the son of Richard Town, a portrait painter from Liverpool. Towne's artistic talent became evident early on, leading him to receive training from landscape painter John Rathbone in Leeds.
Initially, Towne worked as a coach and ornamental painter alongside his brother in Liverpool, and also spent time in Lancaster and Manchester. His transition to animal painting was influenced by his admiration for George Stubbs, whose works he studied and emulated. By the 1790s, Towne had established himself as a prominent animal painter, with a style characterized by meticulous detail and a Dutch-inspired composition. His paintings often featured animals set within expansive landscapes, blending naturalism with a romanticized portrayal of rural life.
In 1799, Towne moved to London, where he exhibited at the Royal Academy and formed friendships with artists such as George Morland and Philip de Loutherbourg. During this period, he added a final 'e' to his surname, becoming known as Charles Towne. His works from this era include detailed portrayals of hunting scenes and animal portraits that captured the vitality and spirit of his subjects. Notably, he painted "Old Billy," the longest-living horse on record, who worked as a barge horse on the canals.
Towne returned to Liverpool in 1810 and became a founding member of the Liverpool Academy, serving as its vice-president from 1812 to 1813. He continued to exhibit his work there, solidifying his reputation in the region. His paintings were highly sought after by patrons in Lancashire and Cheshire, particularly for his portraits of horses, dogs, and cattle. Towne's landscapes are noted for their minute detail and careful arrangement of animals within the scenery, reflecting the influence of 17th-century Dutch masters.

Unknown - Painting Fallow Deer with Doe in the Alps, Oil on Canvas 19th century
A lovely Biedermeier style oil painting depicting a fallow deer family in the alpine landscape. Oil on canvas 1st halve of the 19th century. Framed with antique gilded frame, stretcher frame replaced. A marvelous wall decoration for each rustig log cabin.
The Biedermeier period runs parallel to the Romantic period and both are characterized by similar features. Domesticity, closeness to nature, folksiness and need for harmony are buzzwords of this time. The focus is on the simple, the conservative and the tried and tested. There is little experimentation and more observation and enjoyment. The art style is kept very realistic and shows great similarity to photography. Domestic idyllic representations, beautiful landscape and impressive portraits are the most popular topics for oil paintings...
