Albert Joseph Moore (1841 - 93), a painter and pastellist, came from a Yorkshire family of artists. His father William Moore was a portrait and landscape painter and his oldest brother Edwin Moore was a watercolourist and teacher, William Junior a landscape painter and teacher, John Collingham Moore a child portraitist and landscape and genre painter who worked in Rome with the 'Etruscan school', and Henry Moore a marine and landscape painter, watercolourist and etcher. Moore had fourteen brothers and sisters in all.

The 1860s saw Moore designing tiles, wallpaper and stained glass for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Co., and working as an ecclesiastic and domestic mural painter. During this period his works began to take on a markedly neo-classical character, eg. Coombe Abbey, Warwickshire, Moore making an extensive study of antique sculpture, particularly the Elgin marbles in the British Museum. His concern for decorative, colour harmonies became apparent in his paintings of the mid 1860s onwards. Moore was a regular exhibitor at the Grosvenor Gallery from 1877 onwards, and also exhibited at the R.A.
