A fantastic example of a rare landscape by Campbell Mellon. There is wonderful impasto which captures natural light giving a three dimensional effect to the already beautifully painted highlights within the painting.
1878 - 1955
Campbell Archibald Mellon was born in Berkshire on 16 June 1878. He married and settled in Nottingham in 1903 and remained there until he died in Gorleston on 28 August 1955. He only started painting following his move to Nottingham. Mellon studied under Carl Brennir, nephew of Benjamin Williams Leader amongst other artists. After his arrival in Norfolk he studied under Sir John Alfred Arnesby Brown RA.
Although Mellon’s worked out of doors, his paintings were believed to be largely composed in the studio, as he re-arranged and eliminated detail he didn’t see fitting and added design to suit his ideas. He was more interested in composing an image that conjured up the atmospheric qualities of happiness rather than a sober pictorial translation of what he had seen.
After serving in the First World War Mellon moved to the town of Gorleston in Norfolk and he became well known for these seaside scenes with a mass of clearly defined people. He loved to paint the beach at Gorleston whilst looking into the sun and the play of light on the sand fascinated him.
Mellon’s work can be seen in public galleries in Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield and Great Yarmouth.

Campbell Archibald Mellon
Painter in oil, especially of East Anglian beach and coastal scenes. Having studied painting privately with Carl Brennir in Nottingham, Mellon went on to settle in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, at the end of World War I, where he had tuition for three years from Arnesby Brown. Their styles are similar, and Mellon became noted for his small, uncomplicated, breezy panels of the Norfolk seaside. His pictures are in public collections in Bristol, Yarmouth, Sheffield and elsewhere. He exhibited at the Fine Art Society, the Royal Academy, Walker Art Gallery and many others. Goodrich Castle controlled a key location near Monmouth. The poet William Wordsworth described the castle "as the noblest ruin in Herefordshire". Campbell Mellon was based in East Anglia for many of the inter war years, but in 1940 he was bombed out of his home at Gorleston. He relocated to the Wye Valley near Symonds Yat for the rest of the war years. This work dates from that time.
