Indiamen in the Thames Long Caption: Knell was one of the leading and most accomplished marine painters in 19th-century Britain, with paintings in the Royal Collection. This grandly ambitious and dramatic canvas demonstrates why. It shows a battered and storm-damaged Indiaman, just returned from the East into the Thames, against a glowing golden sky from which the clouds are now receding.
