Francis Danby ARA (16 November 1793 – 9 February 1861) was an Irish painter of the Romantic era.[1][2] His imaginative, dramatic landscapes were comparable to those of John Martin. Danby initially developed his imaginative style while he was the central figure in a group of artists who have come to be known as the Bristol School. His period of greatest success was in London in the 1820s.[3]
