Artist Biography

Born in Ware, Hertfordshire in 1911 and died in Harrogate in 1997. Horsnell was known principally as a landscape painter in watercolours, oil and pastels. He was an admirer of the French impressionists, (notably Camille Pissarro) and this is very evident in his work. He painted widely in the United Kingdom though he was best known in the county of Yorkshire where he made his home in the 1940s after WW2. He exhibited at the RA and RBA.
