Arthur Alfred BurringtonChildren in School Room Interior - British Victorian Newlyn School oil paintingCirca 1890
Circa 1890
About the Item
This superb, large British Victorian oil painting is by noted Newlyn and Menton artist Arthur Alfred Burrington. It was painted circa 1890 when Burrington was most likely in Newlyn, having been encouraged to visit by his good friend Stanhope Forbes. The setting is a school interior where several children of a variety of ages have abandoned their books and teacher at the table to watch a Punch and Judy show through the window. The scene is painted in the muted palette of the Newlyn School with wonderful use of light, particularly on the table and through the window. A lovely Newlyn school painting with great detail and colouring and an excellent example of Burrington's work from that period.
Signed lower right.
Provenance: West Midlands estate.
Condition. Oil on canvas, 37 inches by 24 inches and in good condition.
Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt frame, 45 inches by 32 inches and in good condition.
Arthur Alfred Burrington ROI, RI 1856-1924. Burrington was born in Bridgwater, Somerset. Painter of landscapes, genre and flowers. The artist studied at South Kensington and at the Slade. He worked in Rome with Cipriani 1878 and in Paris with Lefebvre, Cormon, Boulanger and Bonnat. He lived for a period unspecified as yet in the West Country, and later in the South of France. He was a friend of Stanhope Forbes, from Quimperle, and Forbes encouraged he and his friend Tom Trythall Rowe to visit Newlyn soon after his own decision to stay in 1884. In September 1884 The Cornishman reported that there were 27 artists working in Newlyn, although Burrington did not turn up until 1885 and remained for a short time only in the West country. He died on 9 October 1924 in Garda, near Verona, Italy. Bednar has secured the Italian certificate verifying his death, and noted his earliest known date of a visit to West Cornwall from Forbes' letters of 1888. Burrington exhibited his works in England, France, Tasmania and America. Between 1888 and 1918 he exhibited 19 works at the Royal Academy London including in 1905 an oil which he considered his best work, 'The Fête of The Patron Saint in Castellar'. His other exhibitions included the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, London 162, Royal Institute of Painters in Oils, London 22 and a one-man exhibition of watercolours, 'In Gardens Fair and Meadows Sweet' in 1905 at the Leicester Galleries in London. This exhibition of 73 paintings included many of Menton and the surrounding districts as did his 1899 exhibition at the Fine Art Society in London, entitled 'A Season On The Riviera', again solely devoted to his pictures. He evidently fell in love with Menton and discovered its delights for an artist early in his professional life. Other exhibitions included the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool 19, Manchester City Art Galleries 10 Royal Birmingham Society of Artists 6 and the Royal West of England Academy Bristol 32. Other works were shown at the Paris Salon 1882 and 1898, the Franco-British Exhibition London in 1908, the St Louis International in 1905 and the Hobart International in Tasmania in 1896 as well as The New Gallery London.

Portrait of a Family in an Interior - British 1950's art oil painting
By Charles Ernest Cundall
Located in London, GB
This interesting British Post Impressionist figurative interior oil painting is by noted artist Charles Cundall and entitled A Conversation Piece. Painted circa 1955 the composition is the interior of a living room with a couple and their two young children, cat and dog. It is full of fascinating details such as the display of porcelain figures in the wall unit, The wonky lampshade on the piano with lovely reflections in its metal base, the slightly shabby walls, the two inviting open doors to other rooms, the way the whole family are looking at the dog (of course!) as it eyes up the tray of tea. Perhaps the dog is in fact the conversation piece of the family and life revolves around him the way the painting does. Is it the artist's family? An excellent example of Cundall's work and life with a dog.

A wonderful genre painting by Charles Hunt of two men and two boys with horses and other animals in a cottage. A farmer and his two sons can be seen eating lunch at a table in rustic interior as a visitor approaches. Perhaps encouraged by the boys, a piglet seems to have found its way onto the table whilst a rabbit and guinea pig eat cabbage leaves on the floor. To the far right, a horse is shown in a stable area along with some piglets. To the far left, a terrier waits on the step by its master.
