He exhibited widely and is particularly known for his genre paintings of children and animals, as well as his rural landscapes of the area around Newbury, Berkshire, where he was born and spent most of his life. Gore, a late Victorian romantic, was influenced by both the Pre-Raphaelites and the French Barbizon School.
