Paul Marny was an Anglo/French painter of mainly seascapes. he was born in Paris but spent at least fifty years of his long life in Belfast and in Scarborough. He first worked as a decorator of porcelain for the Sèvres factory before moving to Belfast to work for a French architect. About 1861, Marny moved to Scarborough where he taught Albert Strange and many other Scarborough based artists. Marny was a member of the Ipswich Art Club 1897-98 and he also exhibited at the Royal Academy, GI and RBSA. Paintings by him are held in the collections of Scarborough Art Gallery, Usher Gallery, Williamson Art Gallery and the Pannett Art Gallery.
His unusual signature is a monogram, an 'M' split in half at the bottom of the 'V' shape. He died in Scarborough and it is possible that his given name was Charles Paul Godard because in 1874 the 'British Photographic Journal' reported that 'A Gallic brother, M. Paul Marny Godard of Paris, has obtained a patent for the application of carbon printing to porcelain or other similar substances'.
