Charles Thornley Marine Paintings (Pair); ca. 1885

Description: A rare and beautiful pair of marines set off the 19th century British coast. Painted by a man who liked to confuse others with the use in his professional life of variations of his name - William Thornley. According to art historian Denys Brook-Hart, Thornley was actually a man called Charles Thornley who worked from an address in Paddington London, but later moved to Rochester in Kent. Although called Charles, his most known name was William Thornley, he would sell and exhibit his pictures under the names Charles Thornley, William Thornley, Hubert Thornley or variations of Thornbery, all these painters actually being the same man. Thornley flourished from 1859-1898 and exhibited at Royal Academy through out this period. He also exhibited at the British Institution from 1861 till its closure in 1867.
