Charles Napier Hemy

Charles Napier Hemy (1841-1917) was a British painter best known for his marine paintings and his two paintings in the Tate collections. He was born to a musical family at Newcastle-on-Tyne and his two brothers, Thomas and Bernard, were also painters. He trained in the Government School of Design, Newcastle, followed by the Antwerp Academy and the studio of Baron Leys. He returned to London in the 1870s and in 1881 moved to Falmouth in Cornwall. Elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1898 and an Academician in 1910, he was also honoured as an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1890 and became a member in 1897. He died in Falmouth on September 30, 1917. [Wikipedia]

Thomas Bush Hardy

Thomas Bush Hardy (1842-1897) was a prominent maritime artist. His career as an artist covered a comparatively short thirty years – from the late 1860s after his return from the USA until his death in 1897.  During that time he painted offshore, harbor and beach scenes in England, France, the Netherlands and Italy, Venice in particular.  He was one of the few artists who took the trouble to study, understand and then reproduce all the elements of a successful marine painting.  From the very start he developed an extraordinary bond with all the fishing communities he met, both in England and on the Continent.  His high regard for these men and women and their way of life is evident in all his paintings.  It is fascinating to compare one of his tranquil beach scenes of a Dutch fishing boat reflected in the shallows with one of a pair of trawlers in a rough North Sea, or with another of fishermen mending their nets on the Venetian Lagoon.  [summary from here]

Maritime Painting

Because Britain was the world's pre-eminent maritime power in the 19th century, it was natural for maritime art to be a popular genre of painting.
