Elegant Figures alongside the River Wye
1790
131 x 152 cm, inc. frame
This quiet bucolic scene shows figures enjoying their natural surroundings on the river Wye in Hereford. Humans coexist peacefully with nature as they row boats and gather on the river bank all under a pale but encompassing blue sky.
The artist William Marlow (1740-1813) is a British painter and a member of The Royal Academy and The Society of Artists.
Marlow spent years studying under the marine painter Samuel Scott. As a result, he was known for his marine paintings but also his landscape scenes. Further influences came from Canaletto and Richard Wilson.
Marlow painted in both oil and watercolour. Though his subjects were generally British country scenes he was also fond of views of the Thames.

- Grand 19th Century English Marine Painting in Stunning LightBy John Wilson EwbankLocated in London, GBJohn Wilson Ewbank (1799 - 1847) Shipping in the Harbour, South Shields Oil on canvas 39.5 x 58 inches unframed 47.75 x 66.5 inches framed Provenance: Christie's October 2002; Lot 11. Fine Art Society; Private Collection This marvellous up to scale Ewbank is full of light and warmth and almost certainly his greatest work of the sort rarely - if ever - seen on the market. John W. Ewbank (4 May 1799–28 November 1847), was an English-born landscape and marine painter largely operational from Scotland. The Humber river is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. Life Ewbank was born at Darlington on 4 May 1799, the son of Michael Ewbank, an innkeeper. He was adopted as a child by a wealthy uncle who lived at Wycliffe, on the banks of the River Tees, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Intended for the Roman Catholic priesthood, he was sent to Ushaw College, from which he absconded. In 1813 Ewbank was apprenticed to Thomas Coulson, an ornamental painter in Newcastle. In around 1816 he moved with Coulson to Edinburgh, where he had some lessons with Alexander Nasmyth. He found work both as a painter and a teacher. He was nominated in 1830 one of the foundation members of the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1833 he is listed as living at 7 Union Street on the eastern fringe of the New Town in Edinburgh. Works His sketches from nature were especially admired, and a series of 51 drawings of Edinburgh by him were engraved by W. H. Lizars for James Browne's Picturesque Views of Edinburgh (1825). He also made a reputation with cabinet pictures of banks of rivers, coast scenes, and marine subjects. As an illustrator he illustrated some early editions of Scott's Waverley Novels and one edition of Gilbert White...Category
