Arthur Alfred BurringtonChildren in School Room Interior - British Victorian Newlyn School oil paintingCirca 1890
Circa 1890
About the Item
This superb, large British Victorian oil painting is by noted Newlyn and Menton artist Arthur Alfred Burrington. It was painted circa 1890 when Burrington was most likely in Newlyn, having been encouraged to visit by his good friend Stanhope Forbes. The setting is a school interior where several children of a variety of ages have abandoned their books and teacher at the table to watch a Punch and Judy show through the window. The scene is painted in the muted palette of the Newlyn School with wonderful use of light, particularly on the table and through the window. A lovely Newlyn school painting with great detail and colouring and an excellent example of Burrington's work from that period.
Signed lower right.
Provenance: West Midlands estate.
Condition. Oil on canvas, 37 inches by 24 inches and in good condition.
Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt frame, 45 inches by 32 inches and in good condition.
Arthur Alfred Burrington ROI, RI 1856-1924. Burrington was born in Bridgwater, Somerset. Painter of landscapes, genre and flowers. The artist studied at South Kensington and at the Slade. He worked in Rome with Cipriani 1878 and in Paris with Lefebvre, Cormon, Boulanger and Bonnat. He lived for a period unspecified as yet in the West Country, and later in the South of France. He was a friend of Stanhope Forbes, from Quimperle, and Forbes encouraged he and his friend Tom Trythall Rowe to visit Newlyn soon after his own decision to stay in 1884. In September 1884 The Cornishman reported that there were 27 artists working in Newlyn, although Burrington did not turn up until 1885 and remained for a short time only in the West country. He died on 9 October 1924 in Garda, near Verona, Italy. Bednar has secured the Italian certificate verifying his death, and noted his earliest known date of a visit to West Cornwall from Forbes' letters of 1888. Burrington exhibited his works in England, France, Tasmania and America. Between 1888 and 1918 he exhibited 19 works at the Royal Academy London including in 1905 an oil which he considered his best work, 'The Fête of The Patron Saint in Castellar'. His other exhibitions included the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, London 162, Royal Institute of Painters in Oils, London 22 and a one-man exhibition of watercolours, 'In Gardens Fair and Meadows Sweet' in 1905 at the Leicester Galleries in London. This exhibition of 73 paintings included many of Menton and the surrounding districts as did his 1899 exhibition at the Fine Art Society in London, entitled 'A Season On The Riviera', again solely devoted to his pictures. He evidently fell in love with Menton and discovered its delights for an artist early in his professional life. Other exhibitions included the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool 19, Manchester City Art Galleries 10 Royal Birmingham Society of Artists 6 and the Royal West of England Academy Bristol 32. Other works were shown at the Paris Salon 1882 and 1898, the Franco-British Exhibition London in 1908, the St Louis International in 1905 and the Hobart International in Tasmania in 1896 as well as The New Gallery London.

- Tea TimeBy Frank BramleyLocated in Wiscasett, MESigned and dated 92 lower left. Oil on canvas. Frank Bramley British, 1857-1915 Frank Bramley is considered one of the most important artists of the Newlyn School, the group of artists who settled in Newlyn, Cornwall during the 1880s and 1890s, drawn by the light, lifestyle and the example of Alexander Stanhope Forbes, and were at the forefront of 'British Impressionism'. He was particularly ‘in the news’ when his painting of a woman reading in a garden made the astonishing price of $590,000 at Sotheby's New York in late May 1996. As the seminal catalogue of the famous Newlyn School exhibition states, Bramley's reputation has rested for some time on Hopeless Dawn, his major RA exhibition of 1888, and which in recent years has been hung almost constantly at the Tate Gallery. Bramley was born in Lincolnshire and trained at Lincoln Art School, later at Verlat's Academy in Antwerp, from where he went to Venice in 1882-83, where our painting was executed. He first showed at the Royal Academy in London in 1884 (both paintings were Venetian scenes), and it was in the winter of 1884/5 that Bramley settled in Newlyn. He was a quiet and reserved figure, prone to bouts of melancholy. He worked on his own in a tiny studio in an old thatched cottage - the cottage consisted of two rooms, one at ground level (which was the studio) and one which was below ground which was inhabited by a woman who'd lost her arms and who managed to look after a set of tiny children as well as a small potato and turnip shop. Bramley moved to a purpose-built glass studio in 1889. He is known as the master of the so-called 'square-brush technique' which characterizes much of the best Newlyn School work and he used this until 1893, later than most of his colleagues. Bramley was friendly with the great artist Sargent and with him was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1894, being elected a full member in 1911. In 1891 he had married, and 4 years later they moved to the Midlands where his work became less socially orientated and more purely decorative. His last years were spent in a London flat...Category
