DANBY, FRANCIS (1793-1861), English painter, was born in the south of Ireland on Nov. 16, 1793, and died at Exmouth on Feb. 9, 1861. He led a wandering life, but spent his last 20 years in England. A good example of his work is "Fisherman's Home—Sunset" in the National Gallery, and the "Departure of Ulysses from Ithaca" (1854) . His sons, James Francis (1816-75 ) and Thomas (1817 ?-86), were also well-known artists.
