SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Clarkson Frederick Stanfield (1793–1867) was a British artist whose maritime experience preceded his career as a painter. Following service in the Royal Navy and a voyage to China, he worked in London as a scene painter, notably at Drury Lane with David Roberts. His travels also supplied material for moving panoramas devoted to the Simplon and Venice. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1820 and became a full member in 1835. Naval subjects occupy an important place in his work, including The Battle of Trafalgar, painted in 1836. A journey along the Rhine, Moselle and Meuse also led to a collection of lithographed views published in 1838. The Wallace Collection holds a watercolour of Venice dated 1830.
