Henry Scott Art

British

Henry Scott was a painter of marines and coastal subjects strongly associated with the Royal Society of Artists. As well as painting lucrative shipping portraits for some of his wealthy clientele, he also executed several works of British and American clippers. The works of Henry Scott have often been confused with those of Montague Dawson. Scott works similarly to that of Dawson and captures a wonderful freshness and feel of immediacy. Scott’s palette is striking, with all surfaces and elements observed, capturing every movement in full flow. His sails are nearly always bellowed with a good stiff breeze which is further emphasized by the spray of the water being wiped across the top of the choppy seas. Particularly notable are his skies which move the subject, helping the canvas to feel alive. In 1970, Scott was commissioned to paint Morning Cloud, which was skippered and owned by the then Prime Minister, The Right Honorable Edward Heath P.C., M.B.E., M.P. Scott exhibited at the Society of Marine Artists, The Royal Exchange, London, The Guildhall, London and the Royal Academy, London. He also exhibited at the St. Malo Museum, France and Madison Square in New York. Henry Scott was honored as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and awarded an honorary Life Member Cape Homers by the International Association of Master Mariners.

Antique Scottish Highland Loch landscape, with sunlit streaming onto the water
By Francis E. Jamieson
Located in Woodbury, CT
Francis Jamieson was a painter in oil and watercolor of highland landscapes and coastal scenes. (The work of this highly prolific artist is curious since the oils and watercolors have two quite distinctive styles and subject matter. The oil paintings are most frequently seen and these are highland landscapes or loch scenes - sometimes they appear to be signed with pseudonyms such as 'W. Richards' and 'Phil Hips' - the location is usually inscribed on the reverse. The watercolors are often coastal scenes with boats and figures on a shore, painted in a more traditional Victorian style, and possibly pre-date the oils. F. E. Jamiesons's beach scenes were published as postcards around 1920 by G. Ajelli & Co. of London on a textured card to give the appearance of oils. Jamieson is known to have traveled widely in the South of England between the wars selling his work but does not appear to have exhibited.) This quote in parentheses is taken from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents - A Dictionary of Neglected Artists Working 1880-1950'. - Work by Francis Jamieson can be seen at the usual sites. Please note that on all these sites you will find F. E. Jamieson variously listed as Francis E. Jamieson, F.E.Jamieson, Frank E. Jamieson, Frederick E. Jamieson etc. You may also find some listings under his various pseudonyms of Arnould Pienne, Charles Maurice, Graham Williams...

"Sunset - Far Pacific" Marine Seascape Painting of Clipper Ship by Henry Scott
By Henry Scott
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A vivid work that is immediate and dramatic, the 19th century clipper "South Australian" makes her way through brisk waters with the invisible winds straining her sails while the long cast of sunlight paints a rich hue of burnt yellows, oranges and pinks across the clouds and sails during the final golden hours of the day. Two figures are observed in the helm watching over the waters while in the distance a second clipper is visible through the dense atmosphere hanging over the distant waters. Typical of Scott, the breeze can almost be felt and the swells of the water are so near, the motion helped along by his heavy impasto with intricate brushwork and complex layers of pigments. Note, we may have available in the gallery a fine pair to this painting of Henry Scott's "Sunrise - North Atlantic" depicting the black ball clipper "Harvest Queen" of equal size and in a matched frame. Henry Scott, F.R.S.A (British, 1911-2005) Renowned for his maritime scenes and coastal subjects, Henry Scott's paintings are often compared favorably with those of Montague Dawson. He exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists from 1950...

Seascape Painting "Sunrise - North Atlantic" by Henry Scott 'English, 1911-2005'
By Henry Scott
Located in Shippensburg, PA
The zig-zag of the rising sun striking the edges of clouds and lighting them with brilliant fire is viewed by early risers on the Harvest Queen, these passengers and crew members visible in the distance standing along her decks. Typical of Scott, the breeze can almost be felt and the swells of the water are so near, the motion helped along by his heavy impasto with intricate brushwork and complex layers of pigments. The sails are full and taut with a strong invisible breeze carrying the vessel forward as the water is whipped about the vessel. Darkness from the forward night casts its shadows across the sails, these being lit from behind with a brilliant translucent warmth. In his standard script, the work is signed lower left "Henry Scott". Note, we may have available in the gallery a Fine pair to this painting of Henry Scott's "Sunset - Far Pacific" depicting the clipper "South Australian" of equal size and in a matched frame.
