A lovely pair of marine paintings of ships at anchor at contrasting times of the day by Adolphus Knell. The first scene shows a sunset over a busy harbour with figures in a fishing boat to the foreground. The second is of a harbour at daybreak with figures in sailing boats hauling nets.
Adolphus Knell was born on 22 March, 1849 in Kentish Town, London to the artist William Adolphus Knell (1801-1875) and Susannah Williams. His half-brother William Calcott Knell (1830-1880) was also an artist. He lived with his family at Green Lodge and then 3 York Place in Kentish Town. They later moved to 329 Kentish Town Road where his father kept a studio. His father taught him art and was a major influence in his style and subject matter. Knell would often assist him in his studio and they worked together until his father’s death. He also found work as a wood engraver but by the early 1870’s had become a full time artist.
He married Lucy Tucker on 10 April, 1873 at St John the Baptist Church in Kentish Town. The couple lived at 64 Falkland Road, Kentish Town and went on to have 3 children together. By 1891, he had moved closer to the Kent coast to live at 5 Vicarage Road, St Lawrence, near the busy port of Ramsgate. Knell seems to have travelled around painting the British coast and is known to have visited Cardiff in 1911. He is believed to have spent his later years living in Queen Square, Bath where he continued worked as an artist.
Like his father, Knell was known for painting marine scenes. Many his works featured boats bathed in moonlight or at dawn and tend to be on a smaller scale.
Presentation: The paintings are housed in new, English made gilt frames which are in excellent condition. Both paintings bear labels for the Armagh Gallery, Broadway to the reverse. The Armagh Gallery was a fine art dealership based in Broadway, Worcestershire. They operated out of 60 North Street (now part of the High Street) from the late 1960’s until the mid 1970’s.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, these works are offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

Adolphus Knell
Adolphus Knell
British flourished 1890 “Shipping at Dawn and Dusk”
Pair of Oils on panel, signed and framed Adolphus Knell is a member of the famous Knell family who specialised in maritime subjects, a brother to William Callcott Knell and most probably the son of William Adolphus Knell.
Originally a decorator of furniture in Bath, he moved to Bristol where he specialised in small marines in the late nineteenth century.
In these two pictures he uses a strong source of light transfusing the picture from the horizon towards the viewer, a device he often employed – see Plate 98 in Brook Harts “British Nineteenth Century Marine painting”.
His work remains highly collectable; these are two fine examples of his oeuvre.

Pieter Cornelis Dommersen

Goeser Veerhuis with Goes in the Distance &
Elburg on the Zuiderzee
Oil on panel, pair, both signed & dated 1904 with wax seals verso
Image size: 11.5 inches x 15.5 inches (each)
Size including frame: 18.5 inches x 22.5 inches (each)
A wonderful pair of seascape paintings by Pieter Cornelis Dommersen. The first painting depicts the Goeser Veerhuis or Goes Ferry House on the left with the Dutch town of Goes in the distance. The ferry house was a popular landing stage for barges and fishing boats. Goes church, with its distinctive spire can be seen in the far distance. The second painting is of Elburg, a fishing port on the east shore of the Zuiderzee in the Dutch province of Gelderland. Dommersen often returned to these areas to paint when he travelled back to the Netherlands and these fine examples were most likely painted on one of these trips.
Pieter Cornelis Dommersen was born Pieter Cornelis Dommershuizen or Dommerhershuisen on 6 December, 1833 in Utrecht, Holland. Little is known about his father and he appears to have been brought up solely by his mother Cornelia into an artistic family. His younger brother was the artist Cornelis Christian...
