J.Barclay
Victorian 19th century Moonlight landscape with river, fishermen and a watermill

1890

About the Item

Victorian 19th century Moonlight landscape with river, fishermen and a watermill. J.Barclay was the pseudonym for the illustrator Horace Hammond who lived in Birmingham. Most of his scenes are in watercolor but he was also known to paint in oils. He worked all over the Uk and many of his scenes are of the Scottish Highlands. I think this example is more likely to me on the Welsh/English Borders. The quality of the scene is obvious. In all parts of the composition the artist has used just enough detail to portray the atmospheric scene. The watermill on the right of the piece is a an example of his observational skills, as its so well painted. This piece dates form the 1890-1910 period and is an oil on canvas. It has been framed in a wonderful English oak 1910-1920 frame which I think gives the painting a very fresh look. This is the perfect painting for a study, den, dining room, hallway, entrance or almost any room in a home.

  • Early 20th Century Worcestershire landscape oil painting of a plough team
    By David Bates b.1840
    Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
    David Bates British, (1840-1921) The Plough Team, Bredon’s Norton Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1908, further inscribed verso Image size: 15.5 inches x 23.5 inches Size including frame: 21.5 inches x 29.5 inches A lovely landscape painting of a plough team on a country track near Bredon’s Norton by David Bates. Bredon’s Norton is a village located in the Cotswolds, on the slopes of Bredon Hill in South Worcestershire. The America women’s rights activist Victoria Woodhull Martin moved to the village in 1901 and by 1908 had set up an agricultural school for women at her Norton’s Park estate. The Antarctic explore Raymond Priestley also lived there. Although Bates was living in Surrey at the time of this painting, he would have been familiar with the area after having lived and worked in Worcestershire for some considerable time. He would have also most likely been aware of Victoria Woodhull Martin and the school. David Bates was born in March, Cambridge in 1840 to Benjamin Bates a shoe maker and Sarah Bates. By 1851, the family had moved to Upton upon Severn in Worcestershire and from 1855 Bates became an apprentice at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Works in Worcester. There he developed his artistic talent, painting flower decorations onto vases and plates. At some point after 1861, he became a full time artist and made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1863, continuing to exhibit there until 1893. He also exhibited at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Suffolk Street and the Grosvenor Gallery. He married Elizabeth Higgs from Worcester in 1867 and they lived at Cherry Orchard, Bath Road in Worcester where their children were later born. Their second child John Bates Noel (1870-1927) became a landscape artist and their younger son David Samuel...
