An attractive pair of seascape paintings depicting ships off two British harbours by John James Wilson. The distinctive ruins of Scarborough castle and the harbour lighthouse can be seen to the left of the first painting. In the second, the fortified wall of the old Portsmouth harbour is visible to the right, just above the sea line.
John James Wilson was born in Lambeth in 1818. He was the son of the famous marine artist John H. (Jock) Wilson and the brother of William A Wilson, a landscape and architectural painter. He studied under his father who undoubtedly influenced his style and over the years produced a large number of works.
He specialised in marine paintings and began exhibiting at the British Institution in 1834 and at Royal Academy from 1835 where he exhibited 55 paintings in total. He was a regular contributor at the Royal Society of British Artists with 384 works and was elected a member in 1845. He also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Hibernian Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts.
He married Elizabeth Parker in 1845 and they lived in Bayswater where their first child was born. After living in Redhill for a couple of years the family moved to 13 Park Place, Milton-on-Thames near Gravesend in 1851. He spent his time travelling around England painting landscape and coastal views of England but also visited Scotland, North Wales, Holland and Brittany.
By 1856, he had made the move to Folkestone, living at 3 Westcliffe Place and began concentrating on marine scenes, particularly of the English Channel. From 1865, he lived at Belle Vue House in Folksestone where he spent the rest of his life. He died at Belle Vue House in 1875.
Examples of his work can be found at a number of museums and art galleries including the Dundee Art Gallery, Folkestone Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the Scottish National Gallery, Sheffield Museum, Watford Museum and the Wolverhampton Art Galleries.
Presentation: The paintings are housed in new, English made gilt frames which are in excellent condition.

- 19th Century continental townscape oil painting of a busy harbourBy Ludwig HermannLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireLudwig Hermann German, (1812-1881) A Bustling Harbour Town Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1863 Image size: 26 inches x 36.5 inches Size including frame: 35.25 inches x 45.75 inches A wonderful continental townscape scene of a bustling harbour by Ludwig Hermann. The Medieval architecture is reminiscent of North Germany and the Baltic sea area with its busy trading ports. Figures can be seen chatting to traders as ships sail around the harbour. Ludwig Hermann or Herman was born Elias Ludwig Julius Herrmann at Greifswald, Germany in 1812 to Wilhelm and Sophie Herrmann. Although little is recorded about his early life and education, he is known to have left his home in 1831 at the age of 19, to pursue an artistic career in Berlin. There he entered the Prussian Academy of Arts where he studied under Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850). Hermann started exhibiting at the Berlin Academy exhibitions in 1836. A year later in 1837, he travelled to Paris to study under Eugène Isabey (1803-1886) and Eugène Lepoittevin (1806-1870). By 1841 he had returned to Berlin where he married Caroline Wilhelmine ‘Auguste’ Dupont on 16 October, 1841. From his base in Berlin he travelled around Europe painting views of France...Category

- 19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland sheep at Glen CoeBy William WatsonLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireWilliam Watson Jnr British, (1847-1921) Morning, Head of Glen Coe Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1897, further inscribed verso Image size: 12.5 inches x 18.5 inches Size including frame: 19.75 inches x 25.75 inches A superb Scottish landscape painting of Highland Sheep at the head of Glen Coe by William Watson. The sheep and their lambs are depicted grazing in the morning light with the dramatic mountains beyond. Glen Coe is a valley located in the Highlands to the North of the county of Argyll and close to the province of Lochaber. The area, which became infamous for the Massacre of Glencoe is one of Scotland’s most scenic Highland glens. William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s. As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists. Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...Category
