WILLIAM See also:CLARKSON (1794–1867) , See also:English marine painter, was See also:born of Irish parentage at See also:Sunderland in 1794. As a youth he was a sailor, and during many See also:long voyages he acquired that intimate acquaintance with the See also:sea and See also:ship-ping which was admirably displayed in his subsequent See also:works. In his spare See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time he diligently occupied himself in sketching marine subjects, and so much skill did he acquire that, after having been incapacitated by an See also:accident from active service, he received an engagement, about 1818, to paint scenery for the " Old See also:Royalty, " a sailor's See also:theatre in Wellclose Square, See also:London. Along with See also:David See also:Roberts he was afterwards employed at the See also:Cobourg theatre, See also:Lambeth; and in 1826 he became See also:scene-painter to See also:Drury See also:Lane theatre, where he executed some admirable See also:work, especially distinguishing himself by the See also:production of a drop-scene, and by decorations for the See also:Christmas pieces for which the See also:house was celebrated. Meanwhile he had been at work upon some easel pictures of small dimensions, and was elected a member of the Society of See also:British Artists. Encouraged by his success at the British Institution, where in 1827 he exhibited his first important picture—" Wreckers off Fort See also:Rouge "—and in 1828 gained a See also:premium of 50 guineas, he before 183o abandoned scene-See also:painting, and in that See also:year made an extended tour on the See also:Continent. He now produced his " See also:Mount St See also:Michael, " which ranks as one of his finest works; in 1832 he exhibited his " Opening of New London See also:Bridge " and " See also:Portsmouth See also:Harbour "—commissions from William IV.—in the Royal See also:Academy, of which he was elected an See also:associate in 1832 and an academician in 1835; and until his See also:death on the 18th of May 1867 he contributed to its exhibitions a long See also:series of powerful and highly popular works, dealing mainly with marine subjects, but occasionally with scenes of a more purely landscape See also:character. Among these may be named: the " See also:Battle of See also:Trafalgar " (1836), executed for the See also:United Service See also:Club; the " See also:Castle of See also:Ischia " (1841), "Isola Bella" (1841), among the results of a visit to See also:Italy in 1839; "See also:French troops Fording the Margra" (1847),"The `Victory ' Bearing the See also:Body of See also:Nelson Towed into See also:Gibraltar" (1853), "The Abandoned "(1856). He also executed two notable series of Venetian subjects, one for the banqueting-See also:- HALL
