A very skilfully captured image of a dramatic seascape with vessels in choppy water. Charles Bentley (1806-1854) Vessels by a harbour in a swell Signed and dated 1846 Watercolour and scratching out 9 x 14¼ inches 14½ x 19¼ inches with the frame Charles Bentley was born in Tottenham Court Road, London. He was apprenticed as an engraver to Theodore Fielding, and went on to work in Paris with his brother, Newton Fielding, with whom he engraved a number of watercolours by Richard Parkes Bonington. This experience had a profound influence on his own development as a watercolorist. In 1827, Bentley set up as an engraver, and worked as an illustrator, though with little financial success. Concentrating instead on watercolour, he was elected an associate of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1834, and a full member nine years later. Over thirty years, he exhibited 209 works with the society, also showing work at the Society of British Artists and the New Society of Painters in Water Colours. Many of these exhibits were the fruits of extensive travels that Bentley made around the coasts of the British Isles, and to the Channel Islands and Normandy – the last in the company of fellow artist William Callow...

A wonderful pair of watercolours by William Joy (1803-1867) A Man o'war and other shipping in choppy seas; A Man o'war and other shipping in calm waters Watercolour over traces of pencil Both 4 x 5½ inches 10 x 11½ inches with frames William Joy was the elder of the two brothers William and John Cantiloe Joy (see our other listings for an example by the brother).

They both worked in watercolour, John almost exclusively, but William also painted in oils, which are comparatively rare. William's work was general finely painted, highly detailed in the treatment of the figures, boats and their riggings, and equal to many of the Dutch 17th century Masters and to the quality of English painters such as Charles Brooking...

His father, Henry Collingwood Aumonier was a jeweller and his mother was Nancy Frances. The family was of French descent and the name “Aumonier” came from his grandfather’s Huguenot ancestors. James was not the only creative one in the family – his younger brother was an excellent engraver and his nephew Stacy Aumonier also became a landscape painter and decorative designer. James's childhood was spent at Highgate and High Barnet. At the age of fourteen he was placed in a business which he did not much like. His passion was art and he began to attend evening classes, first at the Birkbeck Institution, then known as the Mechanics' Institute, and subsequently at Marlborough House and South Kensington Schools. He worked with such application there that he soon found employment as a designer of patterns for printed calicoes in a London firm. Meanwhile he used all his spare time to practice landscape painting out of doors, working in the early morning hours in the cloisters of Westminster and in Kensington Gardens, and later in Epping Forest. His early influences were Lionel Smith...
