Online caption
Richard Parkes Bonington moved to Calais with his parents in 1817 when he was 14. There they set up a lace-making business before settling in Paris the following year. Most of his short life was spent in France. He was admired by both English and French painters of the time. His paintings of the sea combine a sense of spontaneity and spaciousness with a close eye to detail.
