William Georges Thornley was a student of the French landscape painter Eugène Cicéri and Edmond Yon, Thornley became a successful artist in particular for his seascapes from Normandy and his landscapes from the French and Italian Rivieras. He was the son of a Welsh immigrant Morgan Thornley.
He also was a talented water-colorist, engraver, and lithographer. His lithographs after the works of Corot, Pissaro, Degas & Pierre Puvis de Chavannes were highly acclaimed by his peers and received awards at the Salon de Paris.
His paintings were exhibited beginning in 1878. He won the Mention of Honor in 1881 and a Third Class medal in 1888. Thornley embraced the Impressionist movement early in his career, which brought him much success.
His style characteristically has bold brushwork and thick "impasto." It recreates the "impression of a panorama", capturing the fleeting moment in its inner light and color. This open coastal landscape is a fine example of what the artist excelled at: striking color effects which are highly decorative but stay true to nature.
The artist's works are housed in some of the most famous museums & galleries including: The British Museum London, The Museum Pisarro at Pontoise France. The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. The Art Institute of Chicago and many more.
