James Arthur O'Connor inspired him to paint landscapes. A joint educational trip to London, which failed early on due to lack of money, took Danby and O'Conner through the port city of Bristol on their return journey. Danby settled there at the age of 20 and began to paint large-format landscape pictures that caused a sensation in the London salons.
It was the time when the Napoleonic Wars came to an end. Great Britain had gone through hard times and had been on the brink of the abyss several times, but was among the victors and was ripe for a little joie de vivre. Danby's paintings - and those of his colleagues in and around Bristol - met the taste of the times, and so the informal group around Edward Bird formed, which met regularly for painting and drawing evenings and went down in art history as the "Bristol School". It had a certain "locational advantage" due to the sometimes wildly romantic valleys and gorges of the Avon River, which reaches the sea in Bristol. Edward Rippingille, Nathan Cooper Branwhite or James Baker Pyne are well-known names from this group. Danby had his greatest successes between 1820 and 1830, when he was appointed to the Royal Academy in 1825 and returned from Bristol to Londin. Besides pure landscape paintings, such as "View of the Avon Gorge" or "The Upas Tree on Java", Danby also created genres with biblical motifs. But also "The Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt" or "The Flood" ultimately live from the extremely vivid depiction of nature.
But when his wife left him with the painter Paul Falconer Poole, this threw Danby off track. He left London and became a boat builder on Lake Geneva. It was not until 1840 that Danby returned to Endland to devote himself to bringing up his sons James Danby and Thomas Danby (both also became painters), and made a magnificent comeback as a painter. His almost 5 meter wide painting "The Flood" opened a wave of new paintings mostly from the realm of sagas and religion. His last work of importance was "The Shipwreck" from 1895, two years later Danby died in Exmouth (Devon).
