George Ricard-Cordingley (1873–1939), also known as Georges Ricard-Cordingley, was born in Lyon to a French father and an English mother. He trained in Lyon and at the Académie Julian in Paris before working in London and Boulogne-sur-Mer. The sea and fishing communities occupy a central place in his work.
His 1929 study Fishing boats setting out at sunset is painted in oil on paper laid down on cardboard. The National Railway Museum holds SS Victoria Leaving Boulogne, dated 1907, catalogued under the variant Cordingley-Ricard. In 2020, the Musée national de la Marine began its virtual programme for the European Night of Museums with one of his paintings of a Mediterranean sunset. These examples connect the observation of boats with close attention to the changing light on water.
