Arthur James Stark (1831-1902) was a British painter known for his serene and atmospheric depictions of the English countryside. Born in London in 1831, Stark showed an early talent for art and pursued formal training at prestigious institutions.
Stark's artistic education began at the Royal Academy Schools in London, where he studied under renowned landscape painters of the time. He was deeply influenced by the Romantic landscape tradition, which emphasized the sublime beauty of nature and the emotional response it evoked in viewers.
Throughout his career, Stark traveled extensively throughout England, seeking inspiration in its varied landscapes. He was particularly drawn to the pastoral scenery of the English countryside, with its rolling hills, tranquil rivers, and picturesque villages. Stark had a keen eye for capturing the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere, imbuing his paintings with a sense of serenity and tranquility.
Stark's paintings often feature soft, muted colors and a sense of quiet contemplation, reflecting his deep reverence for the natural world. He was skilled at creating compositions that invited viewers to lose themselves in the peaceful beauty of the landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Despite his talent and dedication to his craft, Stark remained relatively unknown during his lifetime, as he preferred to focus on his art rather than seeking fame or recognition. However, his work gained greater appreciation in the years following his death, and today he is recognized as a master of the English landscape tradition.
Arthur James Stark's legacy lives on through his timeless paintings, which continue to captivate viewers with their beauty and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. His ability to capture the essence of the English countryside has earned him a place among the most esteemed landscape painters of the 19th century.

Alken.' lower right Oil on canvas Canvas size - 24 x 36 in Framed size - 31 x 42 1/2 in Samuel Alken junior was the eldest son of Sporting artist Samuel Alken (1756-1815), he was born on April 10th. The family mostly became sporting artists, his younger brothers Henry Thomas (Ben Tally Ho), George and Sefferien. Little is known about his life, in his father's will he was the only son mentioned, but this was to leave him 1s., which presumably was a derogatory legacy perhaps because, as Shaw Sparrow suggests, he traded on his father's name, signing in the same manner. However, as he often signed quite clearly S. Alken Jnr one feels it unlikely, but it does imply S. Alken Snr also painted sporting pictures. There has always been great confusion over the Samuel Alkens and for a long time they were looked upon as one person. number of prints were published after Samuel Junior's work including a set of sixteen published in the early 1820's depicting various sports, including hunting, racing, shooting and fishing. In the works recorded by him, his style would seem closer to that of Barenger. A lot of small wooded shooting scenes...Category
