Henry Moore was the son and pupil of the portrait painter William Moore and the brother of Albert and Edwin. He went to London in 1853, where he studied at the Royal Academy School, but like his brothers, he found the official teaching hard to tolerate. He exhibited in London from 1853, and went on to feature frequently at the Royal Academy, the Suffolk Street Gallery, the British Institution and the Grosvenor Gallery. He was appointed an associate of the Royal Academy in 1885 and a member in 1892. He was also a member of the Watercolours Society. Moore began by painting interiors, then travelled, visiting France, Switzerland and Ireland, and around 1870, he adopted the genre in which he was to make his name: painting the sea in all its various aspects and different lights. When a bad storm was forecast, he would sometimes cross England in order to observe it. He is considered to be one of the best British seascape painters.
