Charles Dixon (artist)

Charles Edward Dixon (8 December 1872 – 12 September 1934) was a British maritime painter of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whose work was highly successful and regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy.

Several of his paintings are held by the National Maritime Museum and he was a regular contributing artist to magazines and periodicals.

Charles too became a professional artist, and soon had a successful practice producing nautical scenes, both watercolours of coastal life and large oil paintings of historical or contemporary naval subjects.

He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and several of his paintings are now in the collection of the National Maritime Museum in London.

He lived at Itchenor in Sussex, where he was a keen yachtsman, and died at his home on 12 September 1934.
