Charles Towne (1763-1840) was an English painter who specialized in landscapes, horses, and hunting scenes. Early in his career, he depicted specific English locales such as "View of Porlock and Porlock Bay, Somersetshire" in 1785 and "Part of Ambleside at the Head of Lake Windermere" in 1786.

His oeuvre included detailed depictions of animals, particularly horses, often set within English landscapes or dynamic hunting and racing scenes. Towne's landscapes often featured specific English locales, such as the Lake District, as seen in his 1786 work "Part of Ambleside at the Head of Lake Windermere".

He also painted coastal views like "View of Porlock and Porlock Bay, Somersetshire" from 1785 and scenes of fishing activity, exemplified by "Landing Fish at Dieppe" around 1810.
