Paul Falconer Poole RA (1806-1879) was a very well known self taught British painter from Bristol. He mainly focused on different subjects for his paintings and he specialised in genre paintings.
Poole was a self-taught artist who gained fame for his exceptional use of color, poetic style, and dramatic intensity. He made his debut at the Royal Academy at the age of twenty-five with a piece titled "The Well," depicting a scene in Naples. After a seven-year hiatus, he returned with "Farewell, Farewell" in 1837 and continued to produce notable works such as "The Emigrant's Departure," "Hermann and Dorothea," and "By the Waters of Babylon."
