Artist Biography

Charles Bentley RWS (1805-1854), was an English watercolour painter of coastal and river scenery. In February 1834, Bentley was elected an Associate-Exhibitor of the Old Watercolour Society (later the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours). His exhibits at the Old Watercolour Society in 1838 included two imaginative compositions, 'From the Red Rover', depicting a naval battle, and 'From Tom Cringle's Log', which represented a sinking slave-ship. He showed at the British Institution for the first time in 1843, and the next year became a full member. In 1851 he showed at the Society of British Artists. Bentley painted scenes all over Britain, in Jersey, the north of Ireland, and in Normandy, which he visited several times with Callow between 1836 and 1841.
