His larger works after turner and others are of great excellence, but his exquisite taste is best displayed in his smaller plates after turner, that are full of poetic feeling.

Hoffner; he was a good portraitist, but he is above all known for his landscapes, which gave him the name of ''claude lorrain english''. This artwork is shipped from italy.
