Paul Marny (1829–1914) was a noted British–French artist.
Life
Marny was born in Paris; his real name may have been Paul François or Charles Paul Goddard. He worked in the theatre, and as a porcelain decorator for the Sèvres factory, before moving to Belfast to work with a French architect. In 1860 he moved to Scarborough, at the suggestion of Oliver Sarony, the photographic pioneer and brother of Napoleon Sarony.[1][2] There he taught Albert Strange and other Scarborough artists. William Tindall was his brother-in-law.[3]
Marny exhibited at the Royal Academy. In 1874 the British Journal of Photography reported that
'A Gallic brother, M. Paul Marny Godard, of Paris, has obtained a patent for the application of carbon printing to porcelain or other similar substance, which, after the picture is developed, receives a coating of transparent enamel ...".[4]
He died in Scarborough.
Works
Marny was a watercolour and landscape artist, and a lithographer. He exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1857.[5] He is known for his painting The Loss of the Scarborough Lifeboat, which occurred on 2 November 1861, a subject also painted by Henry Redmore, Ernest Roe and J. N. Carte.[6] His work is in galleries in Birkenhead, Lincoln, Scarborough and Whitby.[7]
His painting Scarborough from White Nabb, which is in Scarborough Art Gallery inspired Andrew Cheetham's North Bay.[8]
