Paul Marny (1829–1914) was a British–French artist.

Life

Marny was born in Paris; his real name may have been Paul François or Charles Paul Goddard. He worked in the theatre, and as a porcelain decorator for the Sèvres factory, before moving to Belfast to work with a French architect. In 1860 he moved to Scarborough, at the suggestion of Oliver Sarony, the photographic pioneer and brother of Napoleon Sarony.[1][2] There he taught Albert Strange and other Scarborough artists. William Tindall was his brother-in-law.[3]

Marny exhibited at the

Royal Academy. In 1874 the British Journal of Photography
reported that

'A Gallic brother, M. Paul Marny Godard, of Paris, has obtained a patent for the application of carbon printing to porcelain or other similar substance, which, after the picture is developed, receives a coating of transparent enamel ...".[4]

He died in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, on 24 October 1914.[5]

Works

Marny was a watercolour and landscape artist, and a lithographer. He exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1857.

Ernest Roe and J. N. Carte.[7] His work is in galleries in Birkenhead, Lincoln, Scarborough and Whitby.[8]

His painting Scarborough from White Nabb, which is in Scarborough Art Gallery,[5] inspired Andrew Cheetham's North Bay.[9][dead link]
