Alfred Wallis was nearly seventy when he took up painting to relieve loneliness after his wife’s death. A former seaman and scrap-merchant, he was untrained, but had a natural talent for painting from memory those things which were important to him in his life, primarily boats at sea and St Ives harbour.
