Knell was a superb painter of marine subjects during the middle of the 19th century. His work is collected all over the world and many are in important collections. Knell painted in glazes of Color. He used transparent paint mixed with varnish which gives his work a watery appearance. With this painting, the artist is showing his skill and his inspiration from the great Master J.M.W Turner. This piece is in excellent condition and has been framed in a new gold leaf hand made English Frame. This is a perfect painting for almost any room in a home, like a bedroom, study, den, family room, hallway, dining room The complementary colors for this piece are Beige, Brown, Green, Blue, Taupe, off-white, black, red, gray, white. This type and quality of painting would have been painted for the wealthy British patrons for either their country houses or their grand townhouses in areas in London like Mayfair, Belgravia and Chelsea, and Kennsington.
