About the Item
Clarkson Stanfield: The Gulf of Salerno
This oil painting on canvas shows commercial shipping and fishermen in the Gulf of Salerno. The tower at Vietri is visible in the background. There is a three masted barque surrounded by a cluster of sailing boats and service tenders to the right. In the foreground a pile of nets, a basket and two flagons are scattered on the beach. With a gilt plaque stating ‘The Gulf of Salerno, W. Clarkson Stanfield R.A. Exhib. 1857. No.371’. English, circa 1840.
Provenance: Alan Russett, author of biographies of Dominic Serres, George Chambers and John Thomas Serres ‘The Tireless Enterprise of a Marine Artist’, Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, R.A. (1793-1867) was born in Sunderland. As his father was a well-known actor and his mother an artist, his first artistic endeavours were painting theatrical scenery. In 1808 he went to sea in a collier, was subsequently pressed into the Navy for two years and then sailed as a seaman to China and back. Once home, he resumed theatrical scenery painting and was famous for his ‘moving dioramas’, unrolling land and seascapes, some twenty feet high. At the same time, his easel painting earned him the admiration of William IV and Queen Victoria. She bought several of his oils, including, in 1840, a pair of Italian scenes, ‘A view of the beach at Vietri in the Gulf of Salerno’ and ‘The Capuchin Convent at
Amalfi’. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820 and became a full Academician in 1835. He received several other artistic honours and was appointed Curator of Pictures at Greenwich Hospital in 1844.

"Shipping Off the Coast" by Thomas Luny
By Thomas Luny
Located in Wiscasset, ME
Shipping off the coast by English artist Thomas Luny. Oil on canvas signed and dated 35' in the lower left. Nice period and possibly original frame.
Thomas Luny (1759–1837), born in Cornwall, probably at St Ewe, was an English artist and painter, mostly of seascapes and other marine-based works. At the age of eleven, Luny left Cornwall to live in London. There he became the apprentice of Francis Holman, a marine painter who would have a great and long lasting artistic influence on Luny: Luny remained until 1780 in Holman's London studio, which, was first situated in Broad Street, St. George's, and later relocated to Old Gravel Lane.
Examples of his work are exhibited at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, and at The Mariners' Museum in Newport...
