About the Item

Sir Herbert James Gunn was born in 1893 in Glasgow and first studied at the Glasgow School of Art. He then studied at the Academie Julien in Paris until 1914 when he moved back to the UK. Gunn's time in France developed his radical approach and stark palette which heightened the dramatic placement of forms. In 1913 Gunn's pictorial arrangements were seen as very avant garde, and challenged the sentimental landscapes produced by most of the British Edwardian artists. However, on Gunn's return to Britain the artistic elite received him amongst similarly radical colonies such as Newlyn, Staiths and St Ives. Gunn became a member of the Royal Academy in 1953 and was invited to paint Queen Elizabeth II in her Coronation robes. This picture hangs in the Royal Collection to this day.

His work was both sensitive and intelligent and like himself, without showiness or pretension. He was keeper of the Royal Academy Schools and a popular figure who taught many well-known artists including Martin Yeoman, Peter Kuhfeld, Edmund Fairfax-Lucy and Jane Corsellis. Greenham was born in Streatham and educated at Dulwich before studying English at Magdalen College, Oxford, followed by Fine Art at the Byam Shaw School of Art in Kensington from 1936-39 under the supervision of Ernest Jackson.

Le Jardin du Luxembourg
By Marie-Anne Nivoulies de Pierrefort
Located in London, GB
'Le Jardin du Luxembourg', oil on canvas, by Marie de Nivouliès de Pierrefort (circa 1910). Parisians are not equivocal about their park preferences. Some clearly favour the Tuileries, while others stand firmly with feet planted in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Perhaps this is analogous to residents' strongly-held preferences for either the Café Deux Magots or the Café de Flore, just down the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Back to the gardens though, I have always been captivated by the Luxembourg Gardens. It's the lawns, tree-lined promenades, tennis courts, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its octagonal Grand Bassin, as well as the picturesque Medici Fountain...
