About the Item
Early Twentieth Century Victorian Style Oil Painting of English Black and White Village Scene with Timber Framed buildings and mothers with their children and even a little dog! A truly beautiful evocative painting of a bucolic English scene.
The Village of Pembridge in Herefordshire, known for its Hereford Cattle and Cider, is the jewel in the crown of the Black and White Village trail, almost every building down the High Street is an architectural delight!
Moss Bennett was most definitely a fan of Herefordshire as I have seen quite a few now alongside his ever popular "genre" scenes.
Frank Moss Bennett 1874 - 1952
Frank Moss Bennett was a London painter of portraits, genre and historical subjects in both oils and watercolour as well as being an illustrator.
Bennett was born in Liverpool and studied at St John’s Wood School of Art, The Slade School of Art and at the Royal Academy Schools of Art where he won a gold medal and a travelling scholarship.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1898 and 1928, titles included ” A Book Plate ” in 1898, ” The Greek Runner Falling Dead as he goes to Receive his Crown at Olympia ” 1900 and ” Gay Birds ” in 1903, he also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and at the Paris Salon.
Bennett however, turned to painting historical genre and portraits and it was with the former that he achieved critical acclaim. He was one of the last of the fine figure painters in Britain and specialised in period interiors. His expertise lay in appealing conversation pieces of the romantic period of the mid-nineteenth century England, figures in tavern interiors or travellers gathered before a coaching inn, huntsmen carousing after the hunt or gentlemen discussing affairs of State, subjects which found a ready market amongst collectors in the United Kingdom and the United States in particular.
The artist’s superb technical abilities are demonstrated in the knowledge and accuracy of the costumes worn by his figures. This fact is borne out by the vast number of period costumes that he collected during his lifetime.
Many of pieces became well known through calendars and other forms of popular reproduction.
Bennett lived early in his career in South London before moving to Ebury Street in 1911. Towards the end of his career he became Official Purchaser for the National Portrait Gallery.

Frank Moss Bennett
Moss Bennett was born in Liverpool and started painting from a very young age. He attended the Slade School of Art and became a professional painter of mostly landscapes and detailed interior scenes. His work, like a lot of artist in the early 20th century, was period in feel and he often painted his pictures out of period but adding authentic costume to his models and props.
Some of his paintings have achieved eye watering prices at auction in the tens of thousands and some in excess of 50,000 pounds. His work is beautiful and wonderfully observed, his eye for detail is astonishing.
He was a popular painter in his time and remains so to this day.

Victorian Marine Seascape Large Oil Painting of Pure Seas and Shimmering Light
Located in ludlow, GB
Victorian Marine Seascape Large Oil Painting of Pure Seas and Shimmering Light by the absolute Master of Pure Seas Paintings. This is a beautiful, ethereal work by Henry Moore (THE Henry Moore and not the famous Sculptor!).
The seascape we have for sale is an exquisite example of Moore’s sea-painting (he began painting the sea in the late 1860s), this, produced at the height of his fame and talents, it was painted in 1891. In it he captures the rolling waves as they catch the light and conveys a cool beauty within this deceptively simple composition. There may be a hint of a vessel in the background but maybe it is a trick of the light!! The seagulls dance in the foreground.
Moore manages to straddle two enormous art...

Country Cottage
By Abraham Hulk the Younger
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), this painting was acquired by Saltire Gallerie with a larger painting signed by Hulk the Younger, (just SOLD). Presented in a period decorative gilt frame, the painting is of a cottage in a woodland with cattle by a pond, a little black dog and man and a woman standing by. In the distance is a glimpse of a river and grasses, framed by trees and an overcast sky.
Hulk is renowned for his treatment of the changing season from summer to autumn, and the golden leaves and fading greens in this painting suggest this changing time of year.
Hulk is the son of a well known Dutch maritime...
