About the Item
“He dipped his brush in light and air” – wrote the artist Sir John Lavery RA about Alexander Jamieson's art. See the evidence of this in this wonderful view of the Paris with dappled light on the Seine and an atmospheric pink sky.
Alexander Jamieson was born in Glasgow in 1873, the son of Elizabeth Reid Jamieson and Alexander Jamieson, who worked for a Blacksmith. Jamieson attended The Glasgow School of Art (then known as The Haldane Academy) from 1886 to 1899. He received the Haldane Bursary for three consecutive years between 1899 and 1891. In 1898 he won a scholarship to spend a year in Paris, which proved a formative experience that would influence his work for the rest of his life and spark an abiding love for France. He met many of the French impressionists and his future wife, the painter Gertrude (Biddy) MacDonald.
Jamieson’s work was characterised by this preference for painting en plein air, working wet-into-wet with bold, bravura brushstrokes to capture the transient nature of light. Concentrating on painting landscapes and townscapes, often of Continental subjects, his reputation grew, and he exhibited at the likes of the Groupil and Carfax galleries in London. However, his life was interrupted by the First World War.
He enlisted in Kitchener's "New Army" as a volunteer, aged 42, in 1914 and in 1915 was commissioned into the 10th Bn York & Lancs Regiment. He served throughout the Great War, taking part in the bloody battles of Loos, the Somme and Arras from 1915-18. The National Army Museum has a painting by Jamieson of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener inspecting the 10th Battalion at their tented training camp in Halton, Buckinghamshire.
The war had unfortunately taken its toll on his health and he died in 1937 aged 63. He is buried in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Weston Turville, a short distance from his home, Burnside. His contemporary Sir John Lavery RA wrote in an obituary ‘Alexander Jamieson, a great landscape painter – perhaps one of the greatest of our time’.
Our oil on canvas is signed and dated 1902 by Jamieson at the lower left. Measuring 41 x 51 cm (16 x 20 inches), the overall framed size is 49 x 60 cm.
The Tate Gallery has a painting by Jamieson in its collection which is interestingly also a Paris scene from the very same period, 1901-2.

American Impressionist: Springtime, a sunny path in France 19thC oil painting
By William Baptiste Baird
Located in Norwich, GB
This beautiful and light filled painting testifies of a new dawn: in the 1880s the landscape and animalier artist William Baird turns to Impressionism. Our Sunny Path, with looser brushwork and lighter colours, convey the fleeting nature of the present. Our lovely oil on canvas may well be homage to Claude Monet - according to Baird's inscription on the stretcher, it was painted in Mantes, which is only about 6 miles from Vétheuil, where Monet was living and working in the 1880s!
William Baptiste Baird was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1847, but as an adult moved to Paris to perfect his painting technique. In Paris, Baird studied under Adolphe Yvon...

"Rain by the Met" Impressionistic Ashcan School New York City Scene
By Cindy Shaoul
Located in New York, NY
An impressionistic depiction of people walking about near the Metropolitan Museum on a rainy day. A man walks quickly holding a briefcase, a group of woman huddled together under one umbrella; this painting goes back in time as the artist captures the style and trend of the early 20th Century with old cars parked in the distance and fashion of the people. A wonderful piece evoking an emotion bringing us into the past with this whimsical scene. This painting is signed lower left and it comes framed in gold tone frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.

Frame measures 19.5 x 23.5 inches
