About the Item

This stunning Scottish Impressionist Edwardian seascape oil painting is attributed to noted Scottish artist John Campbell Mitchell RSA. Painted circa 1910 the location may be Crammond, Edinburgh. The view takes in part of the beach and then across the sea to mountains beyond. It is a sunny day and the vibrant blue of the sea is stunning, broken up by the white cresting waves. It is a superb painting with great Impressionistic brushwork and impasto. Provenance. Scottish estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, image size 30 inches by 20 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a gilt frame, 37 inches by 27 inches. In good condition. John Campbell Mitchell RSA (1862-1922). ARSA 1904, RSA 1919. Mitchell was born in Campbeltown, Argyll. He was a painter in oils and occasionally watercolour. He painted landscapes and marine scenes. Mitchell started life in a lawyer’s office but at the age of twenty two he abandoned his legal career and entered Edinburgh College of Art where he worked in the RSA life class and later in Paris under Benjamin Constant. Two very early works, both scenes from the hunting field, dated 1879 appeared on the market in the1990's. On his return to Scotland from Paris in1890 Mitchell settled in Edinburgh where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1891 he shared the Keith Prize. He first exhibited in the RSA in 1886 and in 1901 he spent time in Galloway developing a great attraction for and technique in portraying changeable skies. Mitchell liked to paint large expanses of moorland and rolling countryside as well as wide expanses of beach and ocean. He had as strong feeling for sunlight and fluctuating light and shadow. In about 1904 he moved to Corstorphine when there was a change reflecting his new environment, from the breezy to the more pensive sentiment. Mitchell represents the best of this kind of Scottish landscape painting - pure, clear colours, a fluent oil technique and great sense of movement.
