David Mead
David Mead was born in London in 1906 and moved to Whitstable in Kent in 1910, at the age of four. Here he had the good fortune to reside next door to the famous landscape painter Daniel Sherrin, from whom he received guidance and encouragement for his paintings. His first watercolours were sold when he was only 12. He continued to paint and study painting, but it was only after his service in the Air Ministry during WWII, that he became a full time artist. He painted landscapes in oils, predominantly featuring trees and quiet pools and he excelled at painting trees. He was made a Fellow of the Central Institute of Art and Design in 1946. He founded the Medway Arts Society and served as its President for four years. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and one of his paintings is in Horsham Museum. A large proportion of his paintings are in private collections.

Julius Montalant (1823 - 1898)
Harbour of Rio Janeiro, 1843-1850
Oil on canvas
17 x 24 inches
Signed and dated lower right; conservator's inscription on the reverse
Born in Virginia, probably Norfolk, Julius Montalant is known for his drawings and paintings inspired by his travels on board navy ships.

During the 1850s he lived in Philadelphia, and in 1851-61 he exhibited at the Philadelphia Art Union and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Included were paintings of North America, Greece...
