Frederick John Widgery (1861–1942): A Landscape Artist of Dartmoor
Born on July 28, 1861, in North Bovey, Devon, England, Frederick John Widgery became one of the preeminent landscape artists of his time. His deep connection to the natural beauty of Dartmoor, a rugged and picturesque region in southwestern England, profoundly influenced his artistic vision.
Widgery's early interest in art led him to the Exeter School of Art and later to the South Kensington School in London. Under the tutelage of prominent artists, he refined his skills, laying the groundwork for a career that would celebrate the untamed landscapes of Dartmoor.
Returning to his roots in Devon, Widgery dedicated his artistic endeavors to capturing the spirit of Dartmoor. His preferred medium was watercolor, a choice that allowed him to delicately portray the atmospheric nuances and ever-changing moods of the moorland.
Widgery's works often featured Dartmoor's granite tors, expansive heather-covered hills, and the ethereal play of light and shadow across the landscape. His paintings became a celebration of the unique and mystical qualities of Dartmoor, earning him recognition and acclaim among art connoisseurs.
Frederick John Widgery exhibited extensively throughout his career, showcasing his evocative depictions of Dartmoor's wild beauty. His works were featured in prominent galleries, including the Royal Academy in London, where his talent garnered praise from both critics and fellow artists.
Widgery's ability to infuse his paintings with a deep sense of place and emotion distinguished him as a master of landscape art. His commitment to capturing the essence of Dartmoor contributed to the preservation of the region's natural beauty in the public consciousness.
Frederick John Widgery's artistic legacy endures, as his paintings continue to be admired for their skillful technique and profound connection to Dartmoor. His work is held in various collections, and retrospectives have been organized to celebrate his contribution to the genre of landscape painting.
Widgery's ability to convey the sublime beauty of Dartmoor, with its windswept moors and ancient tors, ensures that his name remains synonymous with the artistic celebration of nature. Today, art enthusiasts and admirers of landscape painting cherish the timeless works of Frederick John Widgery as windows into the captivating allure of Dartmoor's wilderness.

- A snowy winter landscapeLocated in Stoke, HampshireRaymond Leech (b. 1949) The edge of the village Oil on board Painting size - 18 x 24 in Frame size - 26 x 32 in Raymond was influenced to take up an artistic career by his father, who taught him to draw. In particular, he was also inspired by the art, prints and posters of the Newlyn School, the French impressionists, Degas, Renoir and Toulouse Lautrec. Raymond was born in Great Yarmouth in 1949 and still lives in East Anglia. From 1965 1970 he studied fine art and graphics at Great Yarmouth College of Art. Originally he made his living in graphic design, but demand for his original art grew so he eventually made the decision to take up painting full time. He works in oil, watercolour and pastel and his motivation as an artist is best illustrated by his affection for the figure work of the Cornish Newlyn School of artists, which at the turn of the twentieth century included Stanhope Forbes and Dame Laura Knight. He admires their work because it provided 'a breath of fresh air' and Raymond believes that a successful painting is not just a picture, but one that captures the air around the subject and the atmosphere as well. Raymond is a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists the Guild of Norwich Painters...Category
