George Goodwin Kilburne was a genre painter both in oil and watercolour and engraver who was born in Reepham, Norfolk on 24 July, 1839 to Goodwin Kilburne and Rebecca Button. His father was a school master and by 1844 had moved the family from Norfolk to Kent, where he ran a private school in Hawkhurst. Kilburne was educated at the school and after leaving went on to serve a 5 year apprenticeship to London engravers and illustrators the Dalziel Brothers, studying wood engraving. On 21 June, 1862 he married Janet Dalziel the daughter of Robert Dalziel and niece of his employer, George Dalziel. The couple lived at Hilldrop Road, Islington and together had 3 sons and 2 daughters. One of his sons, George Goodwin Jnr (1863-1938) also became an artist.
By 1862, he had started turning from engraving to painting, quickly establishing himself as the leading painter of female beauties usually set against richly decorated interiors or in natural romantic backgrounds. He began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1862 and at the Royal Academy from 1863. He also exhibited at the New Watercolour Society, becoming a member in 1866 and at the Grosvenor Gallery. He enjoyed considerable success and around 1875, moved to Hawkhurst House, Steele’s Road in Hampstead where he lived for over 35 years.
His first wife died in 1882 and on 27 July, 1899 he married for the second time to Edith Golightly with whom he had 2 girls. By 1915, he had moved to 16 Albion Road in Swiss Cottage where he spent the rest of his life. He died at his daughter’s residence, 38 Steele’s Road, Hampstead, on 21 June, 1924 and was buried at Highgate Cemetery.
Examples of his work can be found in many public and private collections including Horsham Museum, Manchester Art Gallery, National Trust, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

- Historical genre oil painting of three gentlemen at a tableBy Frank Moss BennettLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireFrank Moss Bennett British, (1874-1952) Papers to Discuss Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1922 Image size: 13.5 inches x 19.5 inches Size including frame: 20.25 inches x 26.25 inches A finely painted scene by Frank Moss Bennett depicting three gentlemen in 18th century costume conversing at a table. One of the men, dressed as a lawyer, looks over a document whilst the others smoke from clay tobacco pipes. Frank Moss Bennett was a portrait and genre painter who was born in Liverpool on November 15, 1874. He was the son of the Iron Founder Henry Mellor Bennett who was also became mayor of Liverpool. His family’s wealth enabled him to receive a good education, initially with a governess and then at Clifton College in Bristol. His talent for art emerged at a young age, however it was not until he left Bristol that he decided to follow a career in painting. He moved to London in 1892, most likely with his family who went to live in Croydon after his father’s retirement. There he studied at the Slade School of Art where he was taught by Henry Tonks and John Singer Sargent. He also met fellow artist Eddie Wells who became his friend, travel partner and brother-in-law. He later attended the St John’s School of Art and in 1896 entered the Royal Academy school, winning a gold medal and a scholarship to travel. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1898 with a work entitled ‘A Book Plate’, continuing to exhibit there until 1929. He also exhibited at the Paris Salon, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. In 1900, Bennett used his scholarship money to go on a painting expedition to Italy with his friend Wells. On his return he lived with his family at 18 Warrington Road, Croydon and took a studio nearby at Alipore, Duppas Hill, where he began specialising in historical genre and portraits. His work portrayed life in seventeenth and eighteenth century England, depicting figures in tavern interiors, gentlemen discussing affairs of State or at leisure in their homes. He wanted his works to be historically accurate and used authentic props and antiques. He also accrued a large collection of costumes, some of which were later given to the Platt Hall Museum, Manchester and the Museum of London. He also developed an interest in historical architecture, particularly Tudor and made many sketches of buildings...Category
