George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson (1806-1884) H.M.S. Conquerer off Queenstown Oil on canvas, 31 x 45cm (12 x 19.8'') Born in Queenstown, now Cobh, Co. Cork, George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson trained as a carpenter, later becoming Captain Atkinson as Government Surveyor of Shipping and Emigrants. When he began painting, it is no surprise that marine scenes were his subject of choice, and although self taught he exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy from 1842. His works became widely known through lithographs published by W. Scraggs of Cork and Atkinson's own son G. M. Atkinson.
