Charles Towne is the leading Liverpool landscape, animal and sporting painter of the first half of the nineteenth century. In his early work, his drawing is charmingly naive and provincial, and shows an awareness of the contemporary work of Thomas Stringer and, ultimately, George Stubbs, both of whom were from the same geographical area.
By the late 1790's he had developed more sophisticated draughtsmanly skills which are his subsequent hallmark throughout a long career. He was born in Wigan in 1763, but passed most of his working life in Liverpool; his frequent employment in rural Lancashire and Cheshire arose from a wide patronage among the local gentry. He visited London in the late 1790's, where he was noted in Farrington's "Diaries", and it seems likely that it was here that his techniques developed their more sophisticated aspects. His first painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1799. In the next decade he appears to have been itinerant (his name is missing from the Liverpool Directories for these years), but by the end of the decade, he was sufficiently well-known in that City to be a founder, and the Vice-President of Liverpool Academy. He died in Liverpool on 6th January 1840, the possessor of a considerable local and national reputation

- The Hunt Breaking coverBy Samuel Alken Jnr.Located in Stoke, HampshireSamuel Alken Jnr (1784-1825) The Hunt Breaking cover Signed 'S. Alken.' lower right Oil on canvas Canvas size - 24 x 36 in Framed size - 31 x 42 1/2 in Samuel Alken junior was the eldest son of Sporting artist Samuel Alken (1756-1815), he was born on April 10th. The family mostly became sporting artists, his younger brothers Henry Thomas (Ben Tally Ho), George and Sefferien. Little is known about his life, in his father's will he was the only son mentioned, but this was to leave him 1s., which presumably was a derogatory legacy perhaps because, as Shaw Sparrow suggests, he traded on his father's name, signing in the same manner. However, as he often signed quite clearly S. Alken Jnr one feels it unlikely, but it does imply S. Alken Snr also painted sporting pictures. There has always been great confusion over the Samuel Alkens and for a long time they were looked upon as one person. number of prints were published after Samuel Junior's work including a set of sixteen published in the early 1820's depicting various sports, including hunting, racing, shooting and fishing. In the works recorded by him, his style would seem closer to that of Barenger. A lot of small wooded shooting scenes...Category

- Antique Scottish Highland Loch landscape, with sunlit streaming onto the waterBy Francis E. JamiesonLocated in Woodbury, CTFrancis Jamieson was a painter in oil and watercolor of highland landscapes and coastal scenes. (The work of this highly prolific artist is curious since the oils and watercolors have two quite distinctive styles and subject matter. The oil paintings are most frequently seen and these are highland landscapes or loch scenes - sometimes they appear to be signed with pseudonyms such as 'W. Richards' and 'Phil Hips' - the location is usually inscribed on the reverse. The watercolors are often coastal scenes with boats and figures on a shore, painted in a more traditional Victorian style, and possibly pre-date the oils. F. E. Jamiesons's beach scenes were published as postcards around 1920 by G. Ajelli & Co. of London on a textured card to give the appearance of oils. Jamieson is known to have traveled widely in the South of England between the wars selling his work but does not appear to have exhibited.) This quote in parentheses is taken from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents - A Dictionary of Neglected Artists Working 1880-1950'. - Work by Francis Jamieson can be seen at the usual sites. Please note that on all these sites you will find F. E. Jamieson variously listed as Francis E. Jamieson, F.E.Jamieson, Frank E. Jamieson, Frederick E. Jamieson etc. You may also find some listings under his various pseudonyms of Arnould Pienne, Charles Maurice, Graham Williams...Category
