About the Item
Impressive and monumental maritime oil painting on canvas by Franz Müller-Gossen (German, 1871–1946), signed and dated ’08 lower right.
Depicted is a dramatic scene of sailing vessels battling a turbulent sea, rendered in deep, atmospheric tones of blue, grey, and silver. Müller-Gossen masterfully captures the interplay of wind, water, and light — the spray of the waves, the strained sails, and the glimmer of daylight breaking through heavy clouds.
Known for his powerful marine compositions, Müller-Gossen’s works stand out for their precision and energy, combining the technical accuracy of a seascape painter with the emotional force of late Romanticism.
With its extraordinary size of 249 cm × 159 cm, this dramatic seascape commands an entire room. Müller-Gossen depicts several sailing vessels battling powerful waves under a dark, turbulent sky. The artist’s mastery becomes evident in the dynamic modeling of the water, the atmospheric cloud masses, and the tension-filled movement of wind-strained sails.
The composition is a superb example of Müller-Gossen’s ability to combine nautical accuracy with the emotional depth of late Romanticism. The churning blue-green water, flickers of light breaking through the storm, and the silhouettes of fishermen at work create a theatre of nature’s power.

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...
