William James Durant Ready(1823–1873)
William James Durant Ready was a marine-painter. Born in London, the son of a customs clerk he grew up amidst the capitol’s maritime heartland. He was an entirely self-taught artist. He took some of his early works to a dealer, who readily bought them and continued to do so after Durant Ready’s return from a residence of four years in America.
He painted chiefly scenes on the south coast of England, both in oils and water-colours.
He exhibited at the Suffolk Street Gallery, the British Institution, and the Royal Academy.
He died at Brighton, 29 Nov. 1873, of an illness contracted by painting in the open air.
