George Thomson
En Plein Air Sketch, 20th Century Oil Sketch

1916

About the Item

George Thomson NEAC 1860-1939 En Plein Air Sketch Oil on paper, signed & dated '1916' lower left Image size: 15 x 12 inches Contemporary style frame George Thomson was born in Towie in Aberdeenshire and began his career as an architect in Glasgow. In 1882 he entered the Royal Academy Schools and he first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886. He became a member of the New English Art Club and in 1895 was appointed as Lecturer in Perspective at the Slade School of Art. Both here and at Bedford College (where he worked from 1899 until his retirement in 1914) Thomson became an influential teacher at a time when the standard of the British art school was at its height. His style as a painter was influenced by the techniques of the Old Masters and he also excelled as a natural painter en plein air, as the present work demonstrates.

  • The Pool of London
    By Norman Wilkinson
    Located in London, GB
    Signed and dated '1902' lower right Contemporary style hand made frame Provenance: Tryon Gallery Private collection In this painting we can we Blackfriars Bridge in the background reaching across the River Thames with smoke billowing up into the sky behind. On the far right the unmistakable, and instantly recognisable, silhouette of St Pauls also breaks the sky line of the city. Finished in the early 18th Century, St Pauls has been a noticeable addition to the London cityscape ever since. This work by Wilkinson depicts 'The Pool' of London, a stretch of the River Thames from London Bridge to below Limehouse. As part of the Tideway of the Thames, the Pool was navigable by tall-masted vessels bringing coastal and oversea goods to the wharves that originally made up the Port of London. In 1909 the Pool came under the jurisdiction of the Port of London Authority. The docks here thrived until the late 1950s, despite suffering from extreme bomb damage during the Second World War. The tall-masted ships that Wilkinson has depicted here are perfect examples of traditionally rigged sailing craft of the time. They differ from modern sailing vessels in that they did not use newer materials (such as aluminium and steel) and have more complex rigging as a result. The term tall ship later came into widespread use in the mid-20th century with the advent of Tall Ships' races. Here, incredible attention to detail has been applied by Wilkinson in the accurate depiction of the various ships rigging...
