Morley was born at Kentish Town, London and got his educated at the Slade School of Fine Arts under Alphonse Legros (1837-1911), afterwards at Munich and in Rome and was a Slade scholar and Painting Medallist. He was a painter of animal subjects, landscapes, genre and historical subjects, but after 1888 turned to just animal painting especially dogs. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1884 and in 1921 he exhibited at the Society of Animal Painters "half a dozen anecdotes rendered with his wonted taste for the whimsical of animal life!" In 1922, he exhibited at the Society of British Artists. Morley was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1889 and subsequently became a Hon. Treasurer 1890-1896, and a member of the Ipswich Fine Art Club from 1919 to 1926. He also exhibited at The Dial House, Frensham in 1919 and in 1924 at the Langford, Lechdale, Gloucestershire. He died at Stroud, Gloucestershire in 1941, aged 83. |
