About the Item
Wonderful Antique Victorian Welch landscape, Ruined Castle by the shore side with moored fishing boats
Joseph Horlor was born in Bath in 1809 and was a landscape painter of Welsh scenes and coastal views. By 1871 he was living in Bristol with his family. He married Elizabeth Sandys in 1830 and had four children. Both his daughters also became artists, Emma painting animals and Alice figures. He died in 1887.
He exhibited 13 paintings at the British Institution and 11 at Suffolk Street (later the RBA) between 1834 and 1866.
There are 8 of his paintings in the National Collection, 3 at Bristol Museum, 2 at National Trust properties, a at Shipley Art Gallery, 1 at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath and 1 at the Holbourne Museum.
He may have been related to the animal painter George William Horlor, as they both lived in the same area of the country, but we have been unable to confirm this.
He is listed in the Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood and Gray's Dictionary, where his exhibits are listed. Auction results for this artist are available at the usual sites.
This captivating oil on canvas by Welsh painter Joseph Horror, circa 1880, is a superb example of 19th-century coastal landscape painting. A client should consider purchasing this work for several reasons. Firstly, it showcases Horror's skill in capturing the dramatic beauty of the Welsh coastline with detailed ruins, picturesque boats, and a tranquil sea, creating a scene that is both timeless and atmospheric. The delicate interplay of light on water and the meticulous details in the architecture and landscape reflect the artist’s dedication to realism and historical nostalgia.
The painting's historical value is also significant, as it captures a moment of Victorian-era romanticism in art, which emphasized nature’s beauty alongside human history, seen here in the ancient ruins by the coast. This piece not only has aesthetic appeal but also offers a window into a bygone era, making it an ideal choice for collectors interested in 19th-century British art.
Additionally, the ornate, period-appropriate frame adds further value, making this painting a ready-to-display masterpiece that enhances the decor of any classic or historically inspired space. Collectors seeking a unique, heritage-rich piece that combines historical and scenic charm will find this painting a compelling addition to their collection.

View AllEnglish 19thC Victorian Shipping scene with fishing boats in the English Channel
By William Anslow Thornley
Located in Woodbury, CT
William Thornley was a painter of coastal scenes whose work is very similar to Hubert and Charles Thornley, who may have been members of the same family. He painted scenes of genre, architecture and landscapes as well. A number of the landscapes were of Belgium, Holland, Italy and Norway. However, it is for his seascapes that he is best remembered.
Thornley’s works are beautifully detailed and show a masterful understanding of the moods of both weather and sea. They are often small in size and put together with fine detail and great artistic merit. Thornley’s fishing scenes are spirited and similar in style to those of “Jock” Wilson, and are often painted in pairs. Thornley’s works have always been popular when they appear on the art market.
He was believed to have first exhibited marines at the Royal Academy in 1859 from an address in Paddington, London and also at the British Institution from 1861 until it closed in 1867. He continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1898.
Thornley also exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Salon of French Artists, receiving an honourable mention in 1881 and a third place medal in 1888.
