About the Item
A Yacht racing or sailing in the English Channel off the White Cliffs of Dover by Frank H Mason.
Purchasing "Yacht Racing/Sailing off Dover Castle in the English Channel, UK" by Frank Henry Mason, RBA, RI, RSMA, offers the unique opportunity to own a piece of maritime history through the eyes of an esteemed marine artist. Mason's ability to capture the dynamism of the sea and the elegance of yachting, juxtaposed with the iconic silhouette of Dover Castle, encapsulates a perfect blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and the thrill of sailing. This work not only embodies the adventurous spirit of yacht racing but also serves as a testament to Mason's mastery in portraying the intricate details of the vessels and the captivating moods of the English Channel. Adding this piece to your collection means embracing a snapshot of maritime heritage, infused with the artist's passion for the sea and sailing, making it a timeless investment for both art connoisseurs and sailing enthusiasts alike.
Mason had been interested in drawing but had no formal training in art. There was however a strong artistic community in Scarborough at the time. He studied at the Scarborough School of Art with Albert Strange and made regular trips to Staithes to meet and socialise with the arts community there. By 1890 his work had advanced to the point where he received commissions from art dealers, and around 1898 he decided to quit marine engineering and take up art full-time. In 1901 he became a founding member of the Staithes Art Club. He married his wife Edith in 1899.
He had lived at Blenheim Terrace in Scarborough but relocated the short distance to lodgings in North Marine Road. During the First World War, Mason was appointed shipping war artist in the RNVR as lieutenant in command of a Motor Launch in the North Sea, and Egypt. The Imperial War Museum holds 56 of his paintings from this period. On returning from the war, Mason worked with the community at Ebberston Hall near Scarborough and he travelled abroad extensively undertaking an extended European tour. He painted many subjects generally in water colour. During the 1920s and 1930s he designed poster artwork for Great Northern Railway, Great Western Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway, North Eastern Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, British Rail and Underground Group railway companies and ocean liner companies.
The piece is perfect for any room in a home or office and is such a well painted piece it draws the viewer into the scene as soon as they look at it.
