William Calcott Knell (1830–1880) was a British maritime painter renowned for his detailed and evocative seascapes. His works often capture the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous relationship between man and the sea, reflecting the maritime culture of the 19th century. Among his notable works are "Congestion at the Harbour Mouth at the Top of the Tide (Illustrated)" and "Barges and Traders in a Heavy Swell off the Dutch Coast."

"Congestion at the Harbour Mouth at the Top of the Tide (Illustrated)" is a compelling depiction of a bustling harbour scene. Knell's meticulous attention to detail brings to life the frenetic activity as ships and boats navigate the crowded waters at high tide. The painting illustrates the challenges faced by sailors and traders as they maneuver through the congested harbour mouth, highlighting the skill and precision required to avoid collisions and ensure safe passage. The artist's use of light and shadow, combined with his adept handling of maritime elements, creates a vivid and dynamic composition that immerses the viewer in the scene.

"Barges and Traders in a Heavy Swell off the Dutch Coast" showcases Knell's ability to capture the raw power and beauty of the sea. This painting portrays a group of barges and trading vessels battling against a heavy swell off the coast of the Netherlands. The turbulent waters and stormy skies convey a sense of urgency and danger, emphasizing the perilous nature of maritime trade during this period. Knell's masterful use of color and texture brings the scene to life, allowing the viewer to almost feel the spray of the sea and hear the roar of the waves. The painting serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who made their living on the sea, braving the elements to transport goods and maintain trade routes.

Both of these works exemplify William Calcott Knell's skill as a maritime painter and his deep understanding of the sea and its many moods.
