Henry King Taylor
19th century English marine Sailing scene of Dutch fishing boats by a harbor

1859

About the Item

Henry King Taylor was a marine and coastal scene painter who lived in London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1859 to 1864 with titles including ‘The Passing Storm’, ‘The Ramsgate Lifeboat’, and ‘Dutch Shipping’. He also exhibited at the British Institution from 1857 to 1869 as well as at Suffolk Street. He lived at several London addresses and seems to have traveled around the country painting ships and fishing boats off the coast. He also visited Jersey and Holland. Investing in a 19th-century English portrait painting by Henry King Taylor, featuring a fishing boat off the Dutch coast, is an opportunity to own a piece of maritime history crafted by a masterful artist. Taylor's work not only captures the beauty of the seascape but also offers a unique perspective on the symbiotic relationship between England and the Dutch in the 19th century. This painting is not just a visual delight; it is a window into the past, illustrating the maritime activities and cultural exchanges that defined that era. The meticulous details of the fishing boat, set against the backdrop of the Dutch coast, provide a captivating narrative of trade, exploration, and the shared seafaring traditions between these two nations. Owning this artwork by Henry King Taylor means embracing a connection to the maritime heritage of England and the broader European seas. The subtle play of light and shadow, the skillful rendering of the sea and sky, all contribute to an immersive experience that transports you to a time when fishing boats were the lifeblood of coastal communities. As an art connoisseur, this painting is not just an acquisition; it is a statement of appreciation for the craftsmanship of a renowned artist and a celebration of the historical and cultural significance embedded in each brushstroke. It's an investment in a tangible piece of the past that continues to resonate with the timeless allure of the sea. This piece is framed in its original hand-made gold leaf English 19th-century frame that has been restored to its original glory.

Antique 19th century English Victorian Waterfall scene landscape
By John Brandon Smith
Located in Woodbury, CT
John Brandon Smith, John Brandon Smith is an English landscape artist of some renown. He concentrated on the waterways of England, Scotland and Wales. He was particularly interested in the effects of cascading water. This led to his being given the moniker 'Waterfall Smith'. He was fascinated by the spectacle of rivers in spate. Many of his paintings concentrated on the rivers Conway, Llugwy and Lledr in North Wales but he also painted the rivers of England and Scotland. Some of his more celebrated works show The Swallow Falls and Aysgarth Falls in North Yorkshire. He used many shades of green and blue on his small, jewel-like canvases. He would occasionally introduce the figure of a fisherman to provide perspective. His themes are characteristic of the Renaissance of the European Romantic Movement. He exhibited twenty-two works at The Royal Academy between 1860 and 1874. He also exhibited at Suffolk Street. This is a very rare large example of the painters work. It is framed in an Antique English frame

Antique Scottish Highland Loch landscape, with sunlit streaming onto the water
By Francis E. Jamieson
Located in Woodbury, CT
Francis 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...
