About the Item

Large Victorian coastal marine painting by Edward William Cooke, R.A. English, 1842 Frame: height 92cm, width 128cm, depth 6.5cm Canvas: height 77cm, width 122cm This superb marine landscape painting is by the leading Victorian artist Edward William Cookie, R.A., F.R.S. It is titled 'Dutch fisherman warping their craft out of Broeckenhaven Harbour, Holland,' and depicts a coastal scene of Dutch fisherman battling the waves of the unsettled sea surrounding their boat. Cooke’s painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1842, the year in which it was executed. The painting is signed, and dated 'E.W. Cooke, 1842' to the lower right, and titled to the reverse. It is housed in a large giltwood frame. It bears a retailers provenance label for Owen Edgar Gallery, London. Cooke was a leading proponent of the Romantic British marine painting genre, studying the work of Dutch Old Masters, who painted stormy seascapes which inspired much of the British tradition. With works such as this and 'A North Sea Breeze off the Dutch coast', 1855, held in the National Maritime Museum, London, he sought to emulate their earlier mastery, and did so with great success.

"Shipping Off the Coast" by Thomas Luny
By Thomas Luny
Located in Wiscasset, ME
Shipping off the coast by English artist Thomas Luny. Oil on canvas signed and dated 35' in the lower left. Nice period and possibly original frame. Thomas Luny (1759–1837), born in Cornwall, probably at St Ewe, was an English artist and painter, mostly of seascapes and other marine-based works. At the age of eleven, Luny left Cornwall to live in London. There he became the apprentice of Francis Holman, a marine painter who would have a great and long lasting artistic influence on Luny: Luny remained until 1780 in Holman's London studio, which, was first situated in Broad Street, St. George's, and later relocated to Old Gravel Lane. Examples of his work are exhibited at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, and at The Mariners' Museum in Newport...
