Lot description
Henry Moore, British 1831-1895- Off St Catherine's, Isle of Wight; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'H. Moore. 1882.' (lower right), and inscribed 'Aug 26 / 82' (scratched into the paint, lower left), bears label inscribed 'Off St Catherines (I of Wight) / after a gale / H. Moore. A.R.A / "Collingham" Maresfield Gardens[?]' attached to the upper stretcher bar, 41.9 x 66.3 cm. Provenance: Walter C. C. Smyth; His sale, Christie's, London, 21 June 1918, lot 63 [sold for 52 guineas 10 shillings to 'Sampson']. Note: Moore was born into an artistic dynasty, as the son of the painter William Moore (1790-1851) and brother of Albert Joseph Moore (1841-1893) and John Collingham Moore (1829-1880). He worked principally as a landscape painter, and was particularly prolific as a marine artist, with an exceptional skill for evoking the movement of the waves, and conveying the theatricality of dramatic, stormy seas as convincingly as the calm waters of a still day. Similar paintings by Moore include his seascapes which sold at Christie's, London, on 20 February 2003, lot 211 (£26,290), and on 8 July 2015, lot 110 (£5,625).
