William Langley (fl. c. 1880-1920)
A prolific landscape painter, primarily in oil, who specialised in coastal beach scenes, highland scenes usually with cattle and rural landscapes. Little is known about his life. He is frequently confused with the West Country artist Walter Langley and the dates given for him are often the same i.e. 1852-1922 but this is incorrect.
He is mentioned in Hidden Talents. A dictionary of Neglected Artists Working 1880-1950 by Jeremy Wood (published 1994):
"Painter in oil of rural landscapes and coastal scenes who was working in the early 1900s. The subjects of this prolific artist included views in Cornwall, the South of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Among the titles of known works are 'On the Lledr', 'Wee Bridge, Killarney', 'In the Glen', and 'Sunshine after Rain, a Village in the Thames'. The work shows a distinct similarity to that of several artists working at the time and the signature could possibly be a pseudonym. The pictures are often large and decorative and have become increasingly popular in recent years."
