By the renowned British maritime and landscape artist Henry Moore from RA (1831-1895) grew famous for his impressive seascapes in the mid-nineteenth century. Educated by his father, the portraitist William Moore, Henry Moore entered the Royal Academy School in 1853 and began his professional exhibitions that same year.
His subjects, land, and seascapes, were shown in a number of prominent art galleries, including the Royal Gallery, the Society of British Arts, and the Grosvenor Gallery. In 1880, Moore achieved full membership in the Royal Watercolour Society; in 1893, he became a full Royal Academician, an elite position held by only forty-two of the most accomplished British artists.
Moore’s induction recognized his superior achievement in depicting color and waveform. Today his work retains interest among curators and collectors alike; some of his most famous pieces remain on view at the Tate, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and the Manchester Art Gallery.
His artworks have been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging up to to 56,348 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is 56,348 USD for Storm brewing, sold at Christie's London in 2009.
