Tim Etherington, a British painter of the Victorian era, is best known for his dramatic and intricately detailed works. One of his most famous pieces, "Kraken Attacking a Sailing Vessel During a Storm, 1870," showcases his mastery of capturing the raw power of nature and the desperation of seafarers. In contrast, Etherington's portrait of Ibrahim Pasha, "Looking after the Wounded, 1847," reveals his ability to depict human compassion and strength. Meanwhile, Timothy Etherington's connection to the arts extends beyond painting, as he was the husband of renowned actress Marie Tempest. Their relationship is immortalized in a whimsical portrait of Marie wearing a hat adorned with clock dandelions, a playful nod to her theatrical career. Additionally, Etherington-Smith Rower, a rowing club, carries the Etherington name, further highlighting the family's deep-rooted connection to the arts and nautical history.
