About the Item

This lovely British Victorian still life oil painting is by noted still life painter George Clare. Painted circa1870 the composition is different fruit, including green and red grapes spilling out of baskets on a mossy bank. Clare has perfectly captured the blume on the plums and the red of the strawberries. The background is a mix of green and browns of the moss and leaves. A charming 19th century still life oil painting and very good example of Clare's work. Signed lower right. Provenance. Stratford estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 24 inches by 20 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a gilt frame, 30 inches by 26 inches, in good condition. George Clare (1830-1900) Clare was a Birmingham artist having a studio there that his son Oliver later took over when his father moved to London towards the end of his life. He specialised in still life paintings of fruit, flowers and birds nests in a natural setting and was one of three artists to popularize painting birds nests along with William Hunt 1829-1875 and William Dexter 1818-1860. George Clare’s paintings reflect the enormous popularity of the highly defined works of the Pre-Raphaelites who were becoming prominent at this time. George exhibited at the Royal Academy during 1864, 1866 and 1867, The Royal Society of British Artists and The British Institution regularly throughout his career until 1874 when there are no further records of him exhibiting again.
