About the Item

Palazzo Bernardo on the Grand Canal, Venice, Italy. One of the most recognised and iconic palaces in Venice. A beautiful watercolour study by the late John Miller. “Palazzo Bernardo, Venice” Watercolour, signed and framed. John Miller 1931 – 2002 English RSA John Miller was born in London in 1931 and spent most of his adult life in Penzance. Miller began his career in church architecture, but soon moved to a different form of art. During the seventies Miller emerged as a cultural figurehead within Cornwall, he become well known as a painter of popular, Monet-like Cornish scenes, as an Art teacher, a television personality, a patron of local charities and an active supporter of the Church of England. At an advanced stage in his career his artistic style underwent a radical change, and by the mid 1990’s his work had become known worldwide as a result of the mass production of prints of his distinctive beach scenes. He became known for the distinctive blues and yellows of sky, sand and sea and it was these images that were reproduced as posters, prints and even CD covers. His posters have even appeared on film and television sets. Indeed in a 2003 survey of 200 UK high street gallery owners whose businesses specialized in art prints, Miller was listed alongside Monet and Lowry among the top four best selling landscape artists above Van Gogh and Picasso no less! Miller became a member of the Newlyn Society of Painters in 1961 and 1964 he was elected to the Royal Society of Arts. He lived in West Cornwall with his partner from the fifties until his death in 2002. In 1989 he published an autobiography, “Leave Tomorrow Behind” and several other books have also been published about this artist.
