William Thornley
Old Prison Hulk at Sunset on the Medway, England and other shipping Oil Painting

19th Century

About the Item

William Anslow Thornley flourished between 1858 and 1898, almost all of his output were marine scenes, he was especially fond of depicting shipping at dawn or dusk. This is a very impressive large painting housed in its original gilt frame. Both the frame and the painting have just been restored, the canvas has been relined and the frame repaired and brightened up. Historically it is an interesting subject and one imagines it is getting increasingly rare to find images that portray both the busy shipping and the Prison Hulks that were moored around Portsmouth and the South Coast of England.
