About the Item

Falmouth, 1944 (unknown Modern British Artist) Watercolour 46 x 30cm An evocative painting of Falmouth, the Cornish town shaped by its relationship to the sea. The artist leads us from the warm tones of the stone flags and buildings down towards a grey sea and a gently smouldering sky. Ships move in to the port, and a unit of pylons, starkly silhouetted, looks out over the bay. Condition: excellent.

Located in London, GB
We acquired a series of paintings from Claude Muncaster's studio. To find more scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this seller." Claude Muncaster (1903-1974) Liverpool Docks Dated 1928 Inscribed to reverse Watercolour 28x37cm Muncaster's watercolours capture the English countryside feel with great competence and feeling.

With the outbreak of war and he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at fifteen his mathematics was very weak and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camofleur. A master of capturing seascapes he was therefore able to hide huge ships ‘in plain sight’ with clever disguises. After the war he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham. Claude Muncaster was a watercolourist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. He was born Grahame Hall, the son of the Royal Academician Oliver Hall who taught his son to paint from an early age; Grahame first exhibited his work aged 15 and a few years later was showing at the RA. However, he adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922 to dissociate his career from that of his father. Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn...
