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.

- 19th Century seascape oil painting of Penzance harbour, CornwallBy William Edward WebbLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Edward Webb British, (1862-1903) Penzance Harbour Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 29 inches x 45.5 inches Size including frame: 38 inches x 54.5 inches A pleasing coastal painting of Penzance Harbour at low tide by William Edward Webb. In the foreground, a fisherman sells his catch to a woman and her daughter, whilst figures in horses and carts wait for others to unload their boats. William Edward Webb was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1862 to William Benjamin Webb and Ellen Butler. His father was a printer and an artist and it is highly likely he received tuition from him. Following the death of his mother, his father remarried and moved the family to Manchester sometime after 1871. By the 1880’s, Webb had started working as an artist and later set up a studio at 30 Exchange Buildings in Manchester. He began exhibiting at the Manchester City Art Gallery from 1890, where he showed more than 60 paintings during his lifetime. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery Liverpool from 1892. He married Clara Foster in 1899 and the couple lived at 1 Sylvan Grove, Chorlton Upon Medlock in South Manchester with their daughter Florrie. He became friends with the artist Walter Emsley (1860-1938) who also lived in Manchester. Although he spent the rest of his life in Manchester, Webb travelled throughout the UK painting coastal and marine scenes around the main ports and harbours. He spent a great deal of time in the Isle of Mann painting numerous scenes along the coast including views of Peel and Douglas Harbour, subjects he frequently returned to. Webb painted in a highly distinctive style; loose and informal but which manages to retain the sense of perspective. He struggled with ill health and depression throughout his life which sadly led to his suicide 9 November, 1903. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at The Old Customs House and Old Solent House in Lymington, which brought a new found interest in his work. His paintings are now highly sought after and are represented in many collections and Museums including the Astley Hall...Category
