Caleb Robert Stanley was born in 1795. He studied art in Italy and specialized in topographical views and coastal scenes. He painted in England, Scotland, Wales, France, Holland, and Germany, and many of his works focused on the River Thames and the surrounding area. His works often include figures and architectural subjects and his coastal views mostly depict everyday scenes with fishing boats and fishermen going about their daily work. He lived and worked in London and was Honorary Exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1816 to 1863, but he mostly exhibited at the British Institution until his death on February 13th, 1868. The sale of his personal collection of art from his studio, both his own and the works of others he admired, was held at Christie’s on March 19th, 1869, and examples of his works were acquired by private and public collectors alike, with many now on permanent display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Brighton Art Gallery, and The New Gallery in Ireland.

Great.
