Bernard Cecil Gotch (1876 - 1964)
Queen's College, Oxford
Watercolour
28 x 39 cm (51 x 64 cm framed)
Signed lower right.
Queen's College in all its leafy glory. The dreaming spires of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, the Radcliffe Camera, and All Souls peek over the quad.
Bernard Cecil Gotch was a Winchester-born artist who is best known for his atmospheric watercolours of Britain's towns and cities (most notably Oxford).
He moved to Oxford in 1927, painting many watercolours of the interiors and exteriors of Oxford’s many buildings. His works concentrate on the grand exteriors and interiors of the University's colleges, and he exhibited frequently - including an exhibition every term at Oriel College.
His first notable commission was for the publisher Methuen, illustrating 'A Shepherd’s Life' by W H Hudson. Whilst in London he was invited to illustrate a book on the Public Schools of England (which was sadly never completed). He exhibited watercolours at the Fine Art Society and Lincolns Inn, and also exhibited at the Royal Academy.
In 1952 Gotch was given an Honorary MA by the University of Oxford, and, after his death in 1963, a memorial was held for him at Oriel.

Bernard Cecil Gotch
Bernard Cecil Gotch was born on 17th May 1876 at Chilcombe near Winchester. Gotch studied and then taught at Winchester School of Art. Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, he took a studio in London near the Tate. Specializing in architectural views, he had one-man shows at the Fine Art Society and Lincoln's Inn and also exhibited at the Royal Academy. His first notable commission was for the publisher Methuen, illustrating A Shepherd’s Life by W H Hudson. While in London, he was invited to illustrate a book on the Public Schools of England, which sadly was never completed but his completed watercolors were exhibited at the Fine Art Society in 1927. He lived in 1927 in Oxford, living on Cumnor Hill. From his studio on the first floor he painted commissions, making many watercolors of the interiors and exteriors of Oxford’s many buildings. He also exhibited at one-man shows, most notably in every Eights Week at Oriel College. Bernard Cecil Gotch died in 1963.
