Heywood Hardy ARWS RP RE RWA
1842 - 1933
Heywood Hardy was a painter and etcher of animals, portraits, genre and sporting subjects.
He was born in Chichester, on 25th November, 1842, son of the artist James Hardy, Sr. (18011879) and younger brother of James Hardy, Jr. (1832-1889).
After a short time with the 7th Somerset Volunteers, Hardy borrowed some money from his
brother and travelled to Paris. In 1864 he entered the Beaux Arts to study under the battle
artist, Pielse.
He returned to England in 1868 and found his work was in great demand. He was often
invited to country estates to paint portraits, sporting pictures and animal studies. Hardy
continued to enjoy commissions for portraits, animal studies and hunting scenes, but he
decided to concentrate on painting genre subjects.
From about 1870 his career flourished and he was elected a member of a number of societies
including The Royal Society of Painters and Etchers, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and
The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He exhibited 46 paintings at the Royal Academy
between 1864 and 1919 whilst also exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists and the
British Institute.

Sidney Richard Percy
1821 - 1886
Sidney Richard Percy Williams was the fifth son of the artist Edward Williams. He was born
in London and began his career when his elder brothers were already established artists.
Percy’s very early work was signed 'Sidney Williams' but he was only 20 when he adopted the
use of ‘Percy’ as the name under which his paintings were to achieve a greater popularity
than those of any other member of the Williams family.
When Percy married in 1863, he and his new family settled in Buckinghamshire. Their
Regency home, Hill House was ideally placed for the study of the English wooded landscape,
as it looked across the Misbourne Valley to the beech woods and beyond. Percy reached the
peak of his popularity as an artist during the years he spent at Hill House and was able to
support the extravagant tastes of his wife - maintaining a carriage and employing an army of
servants.
As well as the Lake District Percy was very fond of the Welsh countryside which he painted
often and he also produced a number of Scottish landscapes. His paintings have a marked
sense of design and his clarity and detail reflect his great interest in photography. He
exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists,
Suffolk Street.

Fredrik Marinus Kruseman
1816 - 1882
Born in Haarlem in 1816, Kruseman showed an early talent for drawing. Between 1832 and
1833 he attended the City Drawing School and he studied painting with Roosenboom.
He would have come into contact with the great artist Schelfhout during this period, as he
was a regular visitor to Roosenboom’s studio. In 1833 Kruseman made his debut at the
Exhibition of Living Masters in The Hague.
Kruseman moved to Kleve in 1836 and it was here, under the informal tutelage of
B.C. Koekkoek, that he was now inspired to paint realistic landscapes and to give expression
to the feeling that the landscape evoked in him. He learned how to paint trees and how
to indicate skate tracks in the snow by applying white paint and then scratching it off whilst
wet with the sharp end of a brush. In 1841 the artist moved to Brussels where he was to
remain for most of his life. The salons and coffee houses there were natural meeting grounds
for artists and amongst others Kruseman met Verboeckhoven here with whom he
collaborated often.
During the fifties and sixties Kruseman gave ruins and castles greater prominence in his work,
more for Romantic effect than for accurate topography. Winter landscapes made up about
two thirds of his work and during the later fifties his art came to full fruition. He introduced
his first coral-like tree branches and the depth of his panoramic landscapes became more
marked. His cool grey-blue tones gave way to a much warmer palette. This particular example
is among the finest of the oeuvre. Kruseman worked well into the late seventies and
eventually died in Saint-Gillis near Brussels on 25th May, 1882.

Charles Joseph Frédéric Soulacroix
1825 - 1889
Soulacroix was born in Montpellier in France on 6th July, 1825. He enrolled at the Ecole des
Beaux-Arts in September, 1845, studying with the sculptors A.A. Dumont (1801-1884) and
E.J. Ramey (1796-1852) and the German painter P. Cornelius (1783-1867). The artist won
awards for both sculpture and painting and he made his debut at the Salon in 1849.
Soulacroix painted a number of history paintings and he also decorated the dome and six side
chapels in Notre Dame Cathedral between 1863 and 1865 at the request of Monseigneur
Haffreingue, the Bishop of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
In July, 1852 Soulacroix married Giacinta Diofebo in Rome. He worked there after his
marriage and also in Parma, Pisa, Livorno and Florence. During his time in Italy he perfected
his best known subject matter, scenes depicting 18th century costumed figures. Soulacroix
excelled in painting figures enjoying the fashionable salons of Paris and Florence. He
demonstrated his technical skills by painting elegant furniture and the fine silk and satin
fabrics of dresses and wall coverings.
This particular painting depicts three sumptuously dressed women enjoying afternoon tea, a
ritual central to the vibrant salon culture of the period. The salons of Paris allowed
fashionable women to gather and refine their taste and knowledge through conversation.
The elaborate satin gowns, fine china adorned with Japanese motifs, silk covered walls and
Louis XV ormolu furniture are all marks of the very best taste they sought to refine.
Soulacroix’s paintings were very popular among the society he depicted and brought him
considerable success during his lifetime. He continues to be regarded as the master of his
genre today. The artist died on 9th May, 1889 in Florence.

Antonietta Brandeis
Born 1849
Antonietta Brandeis was born in Miskowitz, Austria in 1849. She studied under Karel Javurek
in Prague before moving to Venice to become a pupil at the Academy.
The development of international tourism in the 19th century meant that many more people
were travelling to the beauty spots of Europe. Venice was a very popular destination for these
travellers and the demand for paintings of Venice grew. This demand resulted in an influx of
artists to Venice all of whom produced topographical views of the city and its environs.
The presence of painters from Austria, such as Eugene de Blaas and F.R. Unterberger is not
surprising in view of the fact that Venice was under Austrian rule for part of the century.
Brandeis was another such artist.
Her paintings were enormously popular and provided visitors with exquisite mementos of
their time in the city. She painted the famous landmarks in intricate detail and captured the
light and vitality which are the essence of Venice. Brandeis also went to Rome and Florence
and painted there although her depictions of Venice are the most prized.

Adelsteen Normann
1848 - 1918
Adelsteen Normann was born on 1st May, 1848 at Bodo, Norway. He started his working life
in business, but gave this up before he was twenty and went to Düsseldorf to study painting.
Normann loved his native Norway, but knew he would receive a better artistic training in
Germany. He worked in Düsseldorf from 1869 to 1873 with the well known charismatic
Russian professor Eugen Ducker, who encouraged him in his imaginative treatment of
landscape.
Normann was almost exclusively a landscape painter. Under the influence of Ducker it was in
Düsseldorf that Normann produced his most inspired Norwegian scenes. It was the fjords
that fascinated Normann most, and he was preoccupied with trying to recreate their
atmosphere. He loved Norwegian rural life and the harmony this seemed to have with the
surrounding landscape. Paintings of fishermen, peasants and small villages set against the
snow are typical of this. He was also very interested in the effect of the sun and moon on the
snow, the feel of the snow at night and its different appearance and feeling during the
various seasons.
Normann’s work was very much appreciated during his lifetime. He exhibited in Berlin,
Vienna, London, Düsseldorf and Munich. He also exhibited at the Salon de Paris from 1882,
where he received an honourable mention in 1884 and the bronze medal in 1889.

Edouard Léon Cortès
1882 - 1969
Cortès was born on 6th August 1882 into a family of artists and artisans. His family
originated from Seville but came to France in 1855 for the Exposition Universelle and never
returned to Spain. They settled in Lagny which is about 20 miles east of Paris as there had
been an artistic community there for many years. Cortès lived there for most of his life,
leaving school at the age of 13 to enter his father’s studio where he learnt to paint.
In 1899 Cortès was admitted to the Salon and his work was praised by the international
press. Although Cortès painted some landscapes and other genres his main interest was that
of portraying the Paris of the Belle Epoque. This period lasted between 1880 and 1914 and
saw the glorious rise of art, music, theatre, literature and industry. The Parisians were able to
enjoy the fruits of the rebuilding of the city undertaken by Napoleon III and Haussmann.
In 1888 the ‘Figaro Illustré’ devoted a special issue to this ‘spectacle de la rue’ calling the
boulevards the ‘true theatre’ of Paris. Cortès painted the boulevards and the famous
monuments of Paris and delighted in capturing them with many different lighting effects,
weathers and viewpoints.

James Edwin Meadows
1828 - 1888
A London landscape painter, James Edwin Meadows was the son of well-known artist, James
Meadows, Sr. and came from a family with a strong artistic tradition.
Despite being based in London, James Edwin Meadows travelled extensively throughout
Great Britain seeking inspiration for his landscapes, particularly concentrating on the
Southern coastline. He frequently painted views in Essex, Kent, Sussex, Surrey and the Isle of
Wight.
James Edwin Meadows exhibited at the major London Galleries including the Royal Academy
(1854-72), the British Institute and the Royal Society of British Artists.

Johannes Hendrik Eversen
1906 - 1995
J.H. Eversen was born in The Hague on 30th May, 1906. He was a descendant of the wellknown 19th century artist, Adrianus Eversen, who painted town scenes.
Eversen began his career as a portrait painter, under the direction of the artist W. Lampe,
working mostly in watercolours. He changed direction after attending the Heatherley School
of Art in London during the 1930s. There he began to explore the still-life subjects of the
17th century Dutch old masters such as Claesz and de Heem. Eversen carefully studied their
subject matter and began to incorporate oysters, wine flutes, cheese and fruit into his own
work, often using pewterware and wine bottles to enhance his composition. He enjoyed
painting different textures such as wood, porcelain and leather and his talent can be fully
appreciated in subjects which depict musical instruments or books. Eversen developed to
perfection the use of a single bright light source in his work. This gives the paintings a
dramatic quality and creates a feeling of realism. His paintings reflect a timeless serenity and
are always carefully balanced in colour, shape and texture.
The artist died in Arnhem on 30th December, 1995.

John Frederick Herring Jr
1815 - 1907
John Frederick Herring, Jr. came from a family of sporting and animal artists, which included
his father, who was a very famous painter of sporting and animal subjects, his two brothers,
Benjamin and Charles, and his uncle, Benjamin, Sr. His mother (a member of the Society of
Lady Artists) was also a competent painter and exhibited genre scenes at the Royal Academy
from 1852 to 1866.
John was the first of three sons to help his successful father. He worked in both oil and
watercolour, but his oils are of greater interest and they have in the past often been confused
with those of his father. He exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy between 1863 and
1873 and also showed at the British Institute and the Suffolk Street Galleries. Herring married
the artist Kate Rolfe and spent the latter part of his life at Fulbourn near Cambridge

Charles Haigh-Wood
1856 - 1927
Charles Haigh-Wood was born in 1856 in a home above a workshop in Bury in the north of
England. His father, Charles Wood, was a master craftsman who made picture frames. By the
1870s when Charles Sr.'s business was prospering, he diversified into picture-dealing, and the
family moved into a substantial new home.
While studying at the Royal Academy Schools, Haigh-Wood captured a great deal of
attention, and by 21 he was exhibiting at the Academy proper and was subsequently elected
a member. Following his election, he travelled and studied Renaissance masters in Italy,
before returning to settle in England.
His talent at painting portraits brought him many commissions but Haigh-Wood was best
known for painting drawing room "conversation pieces", or story-telling scenes of polite
society, which made him a popular genre painter in the late 19th century. His work was very
sought after during his lifetime and a number of his paintings were purchased by greetingcard manufacturers for reproduction, which ensured both his fame and financial security.
Manchester City Art Gallery, the Walker Gallery in Liverpool and Bury Art Museum all have
examples of work by Haigh-Wood.

Louis Bosworth Hurt
1856 - 1929
Born in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, Hurt became famous for his paintings of the Scottish
Highlands and his portrayal of Highland cattle. Some of Hurt’s early training was as the pupil
of another well-known Derbyshire artist, George Turner. Much of his work was done at his
home in Ivonbrook, where he kept his own herd of Highland cattle, although he made
frequent visits to Scotland. He also painted small landscapes during Snowdonian autumn
holidays, when he had a cottage at Bettws. Occasionally he painted views in the Southern
Counties, especially at Burnham Beeches, and a list of his sales documented in Benezit
suggests that he also visited France.

Henry Redmore
1820-1887
The Humberside artist Henry Redmore is recognised as one of Britain's greatest marine
painters. His earliest works show the influence of the Scottish marine painter, William
Anderson (1757-1837) who resided in Hull for some time. John Ward (1798-1849), another
great marine painter from Hull, may well have taught Redmore.
Many of Redmore's works depict shipping in the Humber estuary, off the Yorkshire coast and
in the harbours of Whitby and Scarborough. He also visited the South West Coast of England
and pictures are recorded by him of Torbay and several other ports on the Devon and Cornish
coast. He travelled to Holland and Germany, with Hull playing an important role in trade
between Britain and the continent during the 19th century. The influence of the great Dutch
17th Century masters - Willem Van de Velde, Ludolf Bakhuysen and Jan Van Goyen - can be
clearly seen in many of Henry Redmore's paintings.
The serenity, stillness, sense of colour and above all, the high standard of draughtsmanship
account for the quality of his paintings, which are highly prized by collectors today.
The attention Redmore paid to detail shows that he was a careful observer of shipping
activity between the Humber and the continent, and this helps to create the unique
atmosphere achieved in his work.
Redmore exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull has examples of
his work.

Charles Towne
1763 - 1840
Charles Towne was born in Wigan in 1763. He was trained as a coach painter and by the age
of 17 was set up in the town as a japanner and decorative painter. Towne also studied
landscape painting receiving instruction from John Rathbone, the 'Manchester Richard
Wilson'. In 1787, Towne exhibited his first landscape at the recently founded Liverpool Society
for Promoting Painting and Design. Towne also made copies of George Stubbs' two paintings
exhibited there, 'Harvesters' and 'Reapers'. By the 1790s, he was becoming an established
animal painter with a style based on his study of Stubbs.
Towne was also very interested in the work of the Dutch seventeenth century landscape
painters. Artist W.S. Sparrow wrote that "his landscapes are minutely detailed and have a
Dutch mannerism; animals and figures are put in with diligent and affectionate care". His
landscapes were either romanticised versions of real topography or purely imaginary visions.
The lyricism of Towne's setting heightened the solid reality and presence of his animals.
On his first visit to London in 1796, Towne received favourable mention from Joseph
Farington, who noted that the artist had 'six months work bespoke'. Towne began exhibiting
at the Royal Academy in 1799. Although he spent the first decade of the new century in
London, where he became friends with George Morland and de Loutherbourg, Towne
achieved most in Liverpool, where he settled in 1811. He was elected Vice-President of the
new Liverpool Academy of Artists in 1812 and again the following year, and continued
exhibiting there and in Manchester until 1825.
Although Towne is best-known for his paintings of horses, especially hunters, he studied
every aspect of rural life and sport. He also won commissions to paint cattle, favourite dogs,
hunting and shooting scenes, and occasional pieces in the Grand Manner with such titles as
'Tiger growling over her prey'. His works can be found in the Walker Gallery, Liverpool.

Edward George Handel Lucas
1861 - 1936
Edward Handel Lucas was a painter of still-life, landscape and figure subjects. He exhibited
at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, and Grosvenor Gallery and is best
known for his meticulous still life subjects with moralistic titles. His attention to detail was
such that his paintings rarely took less than six months to complete and very often longer.
Such is the scarcity of his work that his life story has remained totally forgotten until recently
when his diaries of newspaper cuttings were discovered.
Named after his father's favourite composer, Handel Lucas was hailed a child genius when he
first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1879 at the age of seventeen. From then on his work
appeared regularly at the annual Academy exhibitions and always drew notices praising his
consistent quality. “Mr. Handel Lucas... possesses in a more marked degree than any still life
painter I have met with, that genius which a great writer has informed us is an infinite
capacity for taking pains.”
By 1910, with the tide of fashion turning in favour of Impressionism, Handel Lucas found his
work became increasingly difficult to sell. Three years later, it was recorded that he was
working on a picture in an attempt to pay the rent bill of £60. The landlady would not wait
for its completion and the families were evicted. His work began to reappear at London
auctions in 1972, as did a demand for his highly detailed still life paintings. Geraldine
Norman wrote an article about Handel Lucas called 'Blowing The Dust Off A Forgotten PreImpressionist' in The Times in 1972.

Walter Hunt
1861 - 1941
Walter Hunt was born in 1861 into a highly artistic family. His father Charles Hunt was a
painter of genre scenes, and his brother Edgar Hunt is well known for his portraits of
chickens, goats and rabbits. Walter Hunt is best known for his paintings of farmyard scenes,
particularly of calves, horses and dogs. His paintings achieve superb colour and are
meticulously detailed.
Walter Hunt lived at Wandsworth in London, and exhibited works at the Royal Academy
from 1881. In 1885 a painting entitled 'Dog in the Manger' was bought by The Chantrey
Bequest.
Paintings by Walter Hunt can be seen at The Tate Gallery and also in the Sunderland Museum.

Joseph Clarke
1834 - 1926
Joseph Clarke was born near Dorchester, Dorset. He studied painting in London under J. M.
Leigh (1808-1860), who was himself the only pupil of William Etty, RA (1787-1849), the
celebrated painter of classical and historical subjects. Clarke specialised in depicting domestic
genre subjects of a tender nature which generally featured children and he also painted a
small number of biblical subjects. In 1857 at the age of twenty three he exhibited his first
painting at the Royal Academy and he continued to exhibit there for all but two of the
subsequent forty seven years.
Many Victorian painters sought to demonstrate their social conscience through emphasising
in their paintings the importance of family life and Joseph Clarke was no exception. Whilst
avoiding the overly sentimental style of some of his contemporaries, he frequently chose
subjects which sought to remind people of their good fortune in having a caring family at a
time when many children grew up as orphans in workhouses. Even in this painting, which
depicts such a happy family gathered together to celebrate Christmas, Clarke’s choice of title
refers to the ‘Christmas Dole’ - literally the tradition which may stretch as far back as the
Middle Ages of ‘the dole of the Christmas box’, when priests opened the church’s alms boxes
to distribute their contents to the poor.
Joseph Clarke enjoyed considerable success with his paintings, maintaining both a London
house and a home in the country for much of his life. In 1876 he was awarded a medal in
Philadelphia for his paintings ‘The Sick Child’ and ‘The Nest’. The Chantrey Bequest purchased
two of his paintings, ‘Early Promise’ in 1877 and ‘A Mother’s Darling’ in 1885.

Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg
1838 - 1904
Born in Draveil, Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg was the son of Austrian painter Karl Joseph
Kuwasseg. Initially he trained and worked with his father but after a while he became a sailor
and travelled the world. On his return to France in 1883, he began his formal artistic training
and studied under Durand-Brager and d’Isabey.
Kuwasseg specialised in painting landscapes of the Breton and Normandy coast, seascapes
of the North Sea and scenes in Italy. He collaborated with the artist Poilpot on a series of
different landscapes. Kuwasseg exhibited at the Salons des Artistes Français from early on in
his career and won a 3rd class medal in 1892 and he eventually became a professor of art.
Kuwasseg’s delicate yet confident style was highly valued during his lifetime and he was
regarded by his contemporaries as one of the finest artists of this genre. His paintings can be
found in the museums of Montreal, Pontoise, Rouen, Perigueux, Digne and La Rochelle.

1857 - 1945
Delphin Enjolras was born in 1857 at Courcouron in the Ardèche. He had a formal artistic
training studying under the celebrated teacher Gérome at the Beaux-Arts, and DagnanBouveret.
He painted some fine landscapes, in particular those hanging in the Musée du Puy, and the
Musée Calvet d'Avignon. However the majority of Enjolras' oil paintings and pastels depict
young ladies illuminated by lamplight. His subjects are often engaged in simple domestic
pursuits such as reading, sewing or flower arranging, although at times he sought a more
intimate portrayal.
Enjolras exhibited at the Société des Artistes Français, of which he became a member in 1901,
and at the Paris Salon from 1890. His work is represented in the Musée du Puy and Musée
d’Avignon.

1856 - 1926
Rafael Senet y Perez was born in Seville on 7th October, 1856. He studied under Joaquin
Dominguez Becquer and Eduardo Cano de la Preda at the college of fine arts in Seville and
then under J. Villegas y Cordero. Senet then moved to Madrid where he continued his formal
education by studying the old masters in the Prado. In 1881 he went to Rome and then
travelled extensively in Italy, visiting Florence, Venice and Naples before returning to Seville at
the beginning of the 1890s. He settled there and aligned himself with a group of landscape
artists which had formed around the painter Sanchez Perrier.
The development of international tourism in the 19th century meant that a new type of
traveller visited the beauty spots of Europe. High on the list of desirable destinations was
Venice and paintings depicting Venice were increasingly popular as reminders of such visits
for the new tourist. As well as native Italian artists who mainly painted Venice, such as Rubens
Santoro (1859-1942), there were also many foreign artists who, like Senet, had a fascination
for the city. One of the most famous of these was the Peruvian artist Federico del Campo who
had also studied in Madrid like Senet before travelling to Italy.
Senet was involved in various exhibitions in Seville, Cadiz, Madrid and elsewhere and was
awarded several prestigious medals. His paintings of Venice were very highly regarded during
his lifetime and the prominent Tooth Gallery in London had exclusive sales rights for his work.
The artist was a great draughtsman and colourist and his work captures not only the exquisite
architecture of the city but also its unique atmosphere and beauty.

Alfred Arthur Brunel de Neuville
1852 - 1941
Alfred Arthur Brunel de Neuville was born in Paris and specialised in still life subjects and
paintings of animals, especially cats. The artist uses broad brushstrokes to great effect and
his use of colour is always warm and rich.
He exhibited at the Société des Artistes Français from 1879 and was elected a member in
1907. The museums of Beziers, Brest, Chateau Thierry and Louviers hold examples of his work.

Anders Andersen-Lundby
1841 - 1923
Andersen-Lundby was born on 16th December, 1841 in Lundby, a town near Aalborg in
Denmark. In 1861 the artist went to Copenhagen to pursue his artistic career. He stayed there
for several years living within the artistic community. Andersen-Lundby moved to Munich in
1876 where he exhibited his works virtually every year. For the most part the artist painted
winter landscapes often depicting late afternoon sunshine or dusk. His works are very
atmospheric and his technique became very impressionistic towards the latter part of his life.
Museums in Copenhagen, Munich and Trieste hold examples of his work.

Antoine Blanchard
1910 - 1988
Antoine Blanchard was born in a village near Blois on the banks of the River Loire in 1910.
His father had an important joinery business and was well known in the area. Perhaps it was
through watching his father carving wood and producing fine craftsmanship that the artistic
spirit was kindled in the young Blanchard. Soon his parents were actively encouraging
Antoine by sending him to Blois for drawing lessons. They realised that this would only give
him the rudiments and to achieve a successful artistic career he would need expert guidance.
For this reason he was sent to Rennes to attend classes at the School of Beaux Arts.
He studied for three years and developed a remarkable drawing skill, which was to prove
invaluable in later life. Sadly, Antoine Blanchard's artistic hopes were put aside when he had
to take over the family joinery business left to him by his father. He painted occasionally for
pleasure, but had to refuse many important commissions from art dealers as business
pressures were so great. He eventually retired from business and moved to Paris, where he
lived until his death. Antoine Blanchard took no interest in the aspects of modern life and
always depicted the elegance of life in Paris in the early 1900s.

Charles Garabed Atamian
1872 - 1947
Charles Garabed Atamian was an Armenian painter and illustrator of landscape and marine
subjects. The majority of his works are oil paintings and he often depicted beach scenes,
especially children playing in the sand.
Atamian was born in Constantinople, but predominantly worked and exhibited in Paris.
He exhibited at La Nationale from 1913-42, at the Independent Gallery from 1938-45, and
he was made an Associate of La Nationale in 1927.
Atamian’s work has always been very popular and in high demand. He captures not only the
luminosity of wet, sun-drenched sand, but also the charm of children playing in the 1920s
and 1930s.

Sir William Russell Flint RA
1880 - 1969
Sir William Russell Flint was born on 4th April 1880 in Edinburgh. He was the eldest son of
Francis Wighton Flint, the Scottish artist, under whom he studied painting and drawing.
At the age of 14, he was apprenticed to a firm of lithographers, where he remained for
6 years. He was also taking evening classes at the Royal Institution School of Art.
In 1900, he came to London and was first employed to do medical drawings, later being
appointed to work on the ‘Illustrated London News’ from 1903-1907. During this time he
studied at Heatherley’s School in the evenings. He became interested in book illustration,
his first works being the illustrations to Rider Haggard’s ‘King Solomon’s Mines’. He took up
etching, which he studied at the Hammersmith School of Art in 1914.
As early as 1905 he was exhibiting watercolours at the Salon de la Societe Nationale in Paris
and in 1906, exhibited his first picture at the Royal Academy, where he exhibited regularly
until his death. He was made an Associate in 1924 after hanging only three oils, and a full
member in 1933. He was also made a member of the Royal Society of Painters in
Watercolours in 1917 and was president of the society from 1936 to 1956. He spent much
time abroad painting on the continent especially in Spain, France and Italy. Works in the
Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; the Liverpool and
Cardiff Galleries and several other Scottish and provincial galleries represent him. He was
knighted in 1947 and died in London in 1969.

Pierre de Clausade
1910 - 1975
Pierre de Clausade was born in Paris on the 15th April, 1910. Although he did not begin to
paint for exhibition until he was 31, the desire to express himself through painting had
occurred to him many years before. Clausade felt that, in addition to a thorough knowledge
of his craft, he must experiment - following the example of his contemporaries Braque,
Matisse and Picasso. After many years of trial and error he felt sufficiently confident to hold
his first exhibition in Paris in 1943. The exhibition was a phenomenal success and as a result
further shows were held during the following years in Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Boston, New York
and Jordan.
Pierre de Clausade exhibited regularly at the Société des Beaux Arts and became a member
of the Salon d’Hiver. Then his fame spread abroad and his paintings entered many
distinguished collections, including that of the Brazilian Ambassador and the Boston and
Minneapolis Museums of Fine Art. Despite this success Clausade continued to develop his
technique, striving for perfection and the satisfaction of his analytical nature.
Pierre de Clausade was awarded the great honour of the Medaille d'Argent by the jury of the
Paris Salon in January 1953.

Colin W. Burns
Born 1944
Colin Burns is a renowned painter of landscape, sporting art and natural history subjects.
Born in Norfolk, many of Colin’s paintings depict views of East Anglia, the beauty of which
has inspired so many fine artists from the 18th century to the present day. However, he is
equally adept at capturing the highlands of Scotland and many other beautiful unspoilt areas
of England and Europe. This year Colin worked on a series of London views in celebration of
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games. He has held seven one-man
exhibitions in London and his work is represented in many important private collections, both
in Europe and America.

James Brereton
Born 1954
James Brereton was born in 1954. He studied at the Joseph Wright Art School in Derby.
By 1979 James was selling enough of his paintings to give up his job and become a
professional artist. His interest in ships and the sea was growing and this took precedence
over the wide variety of other subjects he had painted in the past. These marine works were
strongly influenced by the great marine painters Thomas Somerscales and Montague
Dawson. James sailed before the mast on the Sir Winston Churchill schooner belonging to
the Sail Training Association in the 1990s. This was an exhilarating experience which provided
him with much inspiration.
Currently, nearly all James’ works are of marine subjects and they are often painted on a large
scale in oil as he believes ‘the vast ocean is often best captured on a big canvas’. His largest
commission to date has been a pair of canvases measuring 65 x 87 inches, each of Omani
Dhows, which now hang in a fine palace. James has exhibited widely in England, including
showing at the Royal Society of Marine Artists in London.
