Charles Martin Powell (1775-1824)

C.M. Powell was born in Chichester. He was a seaman this gave him a good knowledge of ships and the sea. He was a self-taught artist, Powell achieved a high level of achievement. He exhibited at both the Royal Academy and the British Institution. The clarity in the drawing of his ships and the detail of his figures were two of his most notable trademarks. While he painted in the 19th century, Powell’s work has a distinctly 18th century feel about it. Powell adopted the Dutch style for many of his paintings. This and his obvious knowledge of Dutch coastal vessels suggests he had a connection with the area at some stage in his life

Powell's paintings always have depth and feeling and his seas and ships feature an almost three dimensional aspect.

Many of his works can be found in museums and stately homes

This 19th century marine oil painting by Charles Martin Powell depicts shipping off the Dutch coast. The artwork shows sailing vessels navigating choppy seas under a cloudy sky, executed in oil on panel with gold and sea green tones. It is housed in a heavy moulded gilded frame featuring a carved shell crest at the top, along with decorative beading and smooth gilded surfaces. The piece measures 39 cm high, 47 cm wide, and 5 cm deep overall, with an image size of 24 cm by 32 cm. Suitably styled for a gentleman's library, this painting belongs above the mantel in a traditional interior setting. The clean composition is signed on the back and arrives ready to hang. The artwork reflects the 19th century marine style while incorporating traditional Dutch coastal vessel motifs and strong spatial depth. The frame shows bright, reflective gold gilding with crisp relief details on the central shell ornament.

Marine art of the 19th century focuses on maritime subjects, including naval vessels, commercial shipping, and dramatic coastal waters, capturing atmospheric light and nautical engineering from the era.

Artists traditionally painted using oil-based pigments applied to woven linen canvas or wooden panels, housed within carved pine or plaster frames finished with real gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period works display natural age craquelure across the paint layer, historic varnish oxidisation, and original wooden keys or hand-cut tacks securing the canvas to its stretcher frame.

A traditional seascape provides a focal anchor when mounted above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or integrated into a dark wood panelled gallery wall in a study.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, radiator heat, and humidity changes, dusting the surface gently with a dry, soft camel-hair brush rather than liquid cleaners.
