Arthur James Stark (1831-1902) was a British painter known for his serene and atmospheric depictions of the English countryside. Born in London in 1831, Stark showed an early talent for art and pursued formal training at prestigious institutions.
Stark's artistic education began at the Royal Academy Schools in London, where he studied under renowned landscape painters of the time. He was deeply influenced by the Romantic landscape tradition, which emphasized the sublime beauty of nature and the emotional response it evoked in viewers.
Throughout his career, Stark traveled extensively throughout England, seeking inspiration in its varied landscapes. He was particularly drawn to the pastoral scenery of the English countryside, with its rolling hills, tranquil rivers, and picturesque villages. Stark had a keen eye for capturing the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere, imbuing his paintings with a sense of serenity and tranquility.
Stark's paintings often feature soft, muted colors and a sense of quiet contemplation, reflecting his deep reverence for the natural world. He was skilled at creating compositions that invited viewers to lose themselves in the peaceful beauty of the landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Despite his talent and dedication to his craft, Stark remained relatively unknown during his lifetime, as he preferred to focus on his art rather than seeking fame or recognition. However, his work gained greater appreciation in the years following his death, and today he is recognized as a master of the English landscape tradition.
Arthur James Stark's legacy lives on through his timeless paintings, which continue to captivate viewers with their beauty and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. His ability to capture the essence of the English countryside has earned him a place among the most esteemed landscape painters of the 19th century.

- "A River Landscape with Wild Horses", Victorian original, oil on canvasBy John Frederick Herring JrLocated in Nutfield, SurreyThis is an original unique oil painting by the artist. Born into an artistic family in Doncaster, England during 1820. Best known for his equine art, of the same character as those of the elder Herring, including "The Home Farm," "The Homestead," "The Farm-Yard," etc.John F. Herring, Jr. was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire c.1820, to the well-known 19th-century artist John Frederick Herring, Sr. (1795-1865), who at the time, was considered one of England's great Sporting and Equestrian artists, patronized by the English aristocracy. The father's mastery of the brush, and popularity with the nobility, served his son, Herring, Jr., well. Early on, John, Jr. was exposed to fine painting and wealthy patrons. Recent reference books state that Herring, Sr.'s first child was named "John Frederick Herring, Jr." and was born on June 21, 1815. John Herring, Jr. developed a love for painting, a passion also shared by his brothers Charles and Benjamin. Three of the four brothers became artists, painting in the same style as their father, often collaborating on a single painting. In the years after 1836, Herring, Sr., feeling threatened by the teenage John Herring, Jr.'s ability and growing popularity, began incorporating the tag "SR" at the end of his signature.
