Biography
Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, born in 1793, gained renown as a painter whose vivid marine scenes and dramatic landscapes captured the imagination of a nation increasingly drawn to the sea.
Until his death in 1867, his canvases conveyed the grandeur of voyages and the quietude of shorelines, leaving a towering legacy that invites viewers to journey once more in spirit from the galleries to St Mary's Catholic Cemetery at Kensal Green where he is now at rest.
