About the Item

This dynamic German marine painting by Alfred Paulmann (1884–1964) captures three vessels navigating choppy North Sea waters with remarkable energy and atmosphere. Born in Barmen, Germany, Paulmann studied sculpture and model-making at the Elberfeld School of Arts and Crafts before turning to painting. From 1902 to 1906, he went to sea, an experience that gave him firsthand knowledge of ships and changing marine conditions and became an important influence on his marine paintings. After World War I, Paulmann settled on the island of Sylt, where he worked alongside fellow artists H. Köcke and E. Schloemann. He remained on Sylt until his death in 1964, and his paintings continue to be associated with the island's artistic heritage. The vigorous handling of the waves and the placement of the vessels create a strong sense of movement, while the changing sky adds atmospheric depth. This oil on canvas is dated and signed lower right, includes a location inscription, and retains its original frame. A particularly appealing feature for collectors is Paulmann's firsthand maritime experience: he painted the sea as someone who had actually lived and worked upon it. Measurements: 19” × 15” unframed and 23.5” × 19.5” framed. Condition: Good.

19th century English marine seascape, with fishing boats in the North Sea

19th century English marine seascape, with fishing boats in the North Sea

Located in Woodbury, CT

William Thornley was a painter of coastal scenes whose work is very similar to Hubert and Charles Thornley, who may have been members of the same family. He painted scenes of genre, architecture, and landscapes as well. A number of the landscapes were of Belgium, Holland, Italy, and Norway. However, it is for his seascapes that he is best remembered. Thornley’s works are beautifully detailed and show a masterful understanding of the moods of both weather and sea. They are often small in size and put together with fine detail and great artistic merit. Thornley’s fishing scenes are spirited and similar in style to those of “Jock” Wilson, and are often painted in pairs. Thornley’s works have always been popular when they appear on the art market. He was believed to have first exhibited marines at the Royal Academy in 1859 from an address in Paddington, London and also at the British Institution from 1861 until it closed in 1867. He continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1898. Thornley also exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Salon of French Artists, receiving an honorable mention in 1881 and a third-place medal in 1888. William Thornley also went by the names Georges William and William...
