The son of painter William Gay Yorke, William Howard Yorke was born November 4th, 1847 in St. John's, New Brunswick. In the 1850's, the family moved to Liverpool, where William worked in competition with Samuel Walters and Joseph Heard.
He remained in England and was active from 1858 until 1913 and in Liverpool, from 1858-1909. He painted well executed ship portraits showing an accurate view of the ship with all nautical details, often with local background. A trait of his later painting (showing 500 of 1064 characters). |
