Oliver Clare
British, (1853-1927)
Still Life of Fruit & Still Life of Flowers
Oil on canvas, pair, both signed & dated ‘92
Image size: 6 inches x 9 inches (each)
Size including frame: 13 inches x 16 inches (each)
An appealing pair of still life paintings by Oliver Clare. The first painting shows primroses and lilac blossom next to a red berry. In the second, damsons can be seen next to apples and a strawberry.
Oliver Clare was born in Birmingham in 1853, the son of the flower artist George Clare (1839-1890) and his wife Elizabeth Bowen. His brother Vincent Clare (1856-1917) also became an artist and both would have received tuition from their father who influenced their style and subject matter. At the age of 18 he enlisted as a soldier in the Kings Own regiment, but gave this up to become a full time artist. Like his father, Clare specialised in still life paintings, containing fruit and garden flowers, often on mossy banks.
Sometime after 1871, he moved to London where he married Emma Mary Webb on 1 September, 1873. The couple lived at 9 Dukes Road, Brentford with their first 3 children. Whilst in London he began exhibiting at Suffolk Street in 1876 and the Royal Academy in 1883. However, it was with the provincial galleries that he exhibited more prolifically with 18 works at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists with, 6 at the Manchester City Art Gallery and 3 at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
Although he’d achieved some success, he made the decision to move to America in 1889 where he worked as an artist. By 1891, he had returned to England moving back to Birmingham with his family. He lived at 190 Witton Road and later 11 Willis Street, Birmingham where he spent the rest of his life. He had a studio in Livery Street but spent a lot of his time outdoors with his dog where he was able to observe and sketch the British hedgerows. As well as paintings, he was also commissioned to produce a series of postcards and posters for the Pitman Health Food Co. Clare died at Birmingham on 13 April, 1927.
Clare’s paintings often depict ripe fruit or fresh blossom nestling on a bank with a hint of dew, and are always well finished with brushstrokes that are invisible to the eye. Examples of his work can be found at the Bolton Museum, Birmingham Museum, Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Llandudno Museum, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery, Torre Abbey Museum and the Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
Presentation: The works are housed in their original period gilt frames, which are in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, these works are offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

Oliver Clare
Oliver Clare was born in 1853, to the renowned still-life artist George Clare. The Clare family members were Victorian artists who specialized in, and were well known for their highly finished and precisely detailed still life and flower paintings. Oliver spent most of his artistic life in Birmingham. Though there are no records indicating where he received his training, one can be quite certain that most, if not all, of it was from his father. Their stippling technique and choice of subject matter are almost identical. While Oliver lived in Birmingham he was commissioned by a local health firm "Health Food Stores" to paint still-lives to be reproduced on postcards and posters. Clare exhibited many paintings throughout his lifetime and is most often associated with the Artists of the West Midlands and the North. He exhibited: eighteen works at the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham; three at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and six at the Manchester City Art Gallery. Throughout the late 1870's and early 1880's he lived in London where he exhibited several works there at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street.

Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Edward Ladell
British, (1821–1886)
Still Life of Fruit & Flowers in a Basket
Oil on canvas, signed with monogram
Image size: 13.5 inches x 11.75 inches
Size including frame: 20.75 inches x 19 inches
An exquisitely painted still life of roses and fruit by Edward Ladell. Pink and yellow rose blooms are depicted with black and white grapes and a pear on a marble topped table. Behind them, a basket of fruit containing plums and a nectarine can also be seen.
Edward Ladell was born in Hasketon, Suffolk on 12 April, 1821 the son of Christmas Ladell a coachbuilder and his wife Mary Birch. He was a self-taught artist and initially worked in his father’s business in Colchester as an engraver. He is also believed to have worked as a pattern designer for a Flemish textile company in Colchester.
In 1848 he married Julianna Roofe and they spent their married life living at East Hill in Colchester. During his spare time he began producing still life paintings in the Dutch traditions and in 1856 made his debut at the Royal Academy with a ‘Study from Nature’. He also exhibited at the British Institute from 1857 and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1858.
Ladell’s exposure at the London galleries began earning him commissions and by 1861, he had become a full time artist. He was highly successful in his lifetime, earning many commissions and commanding high prices for his work. He became one of the best known still life painters of his generation.
During the late 1860’s, after the death of his first wife and child, he began teaching art. One of his pupils was Ellen Maria Levett who he later married in 1878 and together they had a son. His wife Ellen Ladell...
