Footnotes

Moore studied under his father William, before attending the Royal Academy Schools. His first year in the Academy was 1853 and this would be the same year that he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy. He would continue to exhibit here throughout his career, with the main focus of his work being Pre-Raphaelite influenced landscapes. It was really only from the late 1870s that he would turn almost exclusively to marine scenes. During his own lifetime he was a highly regarded artist whose work was exhibited throughout Europe.
