About the Item
Adolphus Knell
19th-century English Warship at sea
Owning in a 19th-century English fishing boat captured at sea circa 1880 by Adolphus Knell, with the sun rising or setting, offers more than just a piece of artwork—it's a window to a bygone era of maritime history. Knell's masterful depiction not only showcases the craftsmanship of these vessels but also evokes the timeless beauty of the sea. Owning such a piece not only adds a touch of nostalgia and elegance to any space but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage of seafaring culture. It's a captivating blend of artistry and history that would enrich any collection or space with its authenticity and aesthetic appeal.
The painting is an oil on an artist's board and is framed in a Vintage English frame.

Adolphus Knell
Adolphus Knell
British flourished 1890 “Shipping at Dawn and Dusk”
Pair of Oils on panel, signed and framed Adolphus Knell is a member of the famous Knell family who specialised in maritime subjects, a brother to William Callcott Knell and most probably the son of William Adolphus Knell.
Originally a decorator of furniture in Bath, he moved to Bristol where he specialised in small marines in the late nineteenth century.
In these two pictures he uses a strong source of light transfusing the picture from the horizon towards the viewer, a device he often employed – see Plate 98 in Brook Harts “British Nineteenth Century Marine painting”.
His work remains highly collectable; these are two fine examples of his oeuvre.
