About the Item
Oil on canvas
Image size: 30 1/4 x 22 inches (77 x 56 cm)
Contemporary style hand made frame
This is a colourful depiction of a Cornish coastal inlet on a warm and glowing summer's day. The artist has used an unusually diverse palette, using this to draw out the full spectrum of colours in each object and form. The artists is clearly a colourist, first and foremost, and the inclusion of a rainbow in the top righthand side of the sky emphasises this consideration. Even in the rocks that make up the coast line, we are not given the expected greys and browns of stone but rather we are presented with an array of pink, oranges and blues in various contrasts and tones.
There is also an immense amount of detail in this scene, with fishermen all over the composition completing various activities. Indeed, it seems that every inch of the canvas is filled with a different subject to catch our attention; men sat fishing on the dock, a duo replenishing their bags of goods on the stoney beach and seagulls swooping and diving in the warm air currents.
The Artist
Born in Birmingham in 1880, Wigley attended Birmingham School of Art, part-time as a mature student, as he was working as a commercial artist and draughtsman with Siviter and Smith a local engraving company. However he later won a scholarship and studied at the Royal College of Art. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in 1928 and also showed at the Royal Academy. A painting by Wigley is in the collection of Newport Museum and Art Gallery.

- Open Shutters, Watercolour Landscape, Signed and Dated 1960, British ArtistLocated in London, GBWatercolour on paper, signed and dated 'Sept '60' bottom right Image size: 26 x 19 inches (66 x 48 cm) Handmade frame In this painting, Banks has managed to effectively convey the scorching heat of a Mediterranean summer. It is likely that this work depicts a town in Italy, a country where Banks spent a considerable amount of time travelling. His paintings of this country almost exclusively focused on sections of it's architecture. This unwavering focus of subject reflects Bank's passion for architectural forms that was also put into good practice through his position as a town planner. Robert Louis Banks Banks was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. An architect and artist, Banks studied at the Architectural Association between 1928 and 1933. Following military service in the Second World War, during which he was awarded the Military Cross...Category

Claude Muncaster (1903-1974) Moor above Llangollen Oil on canvas 36 x 51 cm Mid Twentieth Century Excellent, recently cleaned and revarnished. Signed lower right. Claude Grahame Muncaster, RWS ROI RBA SMA was the son of Oliver Hall RA. He was born Grahame Hall (his father was the Royal Academician Oliver Hall, who taught his son to paint from an early age) but adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922, hoping to strike out on his own and dissociate his career from that of his father. His career as a landscape painter began when he was fifteen; he spent the 1920s and 30s travelling the world with his sketchbook by boat. Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn...Category
