About the Item

Painted circa 1930 the arrangement is predominantly white and orange flowers such as tiger lilies, hollyhock and single dahlias. They are loosely arranged in a gold fluted bowl and against a light background. The brushwork on the tiger lilies is superb. A really fine example of a floral oil painting and an excellent example of Copnall's work. Signed lower right. Provenance: Scottish estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 30 inches by 25 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a light frame, 37 inches by 33 inches and in good condition. Theresa Norah Copnall (née Burchart) (1882 – 1972), was a British painter known for her flower studies and portrait painting. Copnall was born in Haughton-le-Skerne near Darlington in the north of England, where her father was a company director. She was educated in Brussels before attending art school in Barrow in Furness. Copnall studied at the Slade School of Art in London and also at Hubert von Herkomer’s art school in Bushey. She married the Liverpool born portrait painter Frank Thomas Copnall (1870-1948) and the couple settled at Hoylake in Cheshire. They also became regular visitors to the artists colony at St Ives in Cornwall. During her career Copnall exhibited at the Royal Academy in London on several occasions. She also exhibited with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Society of Women Artists. (Unfortunately many of her painting's titles are very generic making it hard to identify specific works). Copnall was a member of the Deeside Art Group and the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. Overseas her work was shown at the Paris Salon and also exhibited in Canada. Both the Medici Society and Raphael Tuck & Sons produced reproductions of her designs and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool holds examples of her flower paintings.

  • Still Life with Flowers on Marble Ledge - British 19th century art oil painting
    Located in London, GB
    This stunning 19th century still life floral oil on panel painting is by noted still life female Norwich School artist Emily Stannard. Emily Stannard and her niece Eloise Harriet Stannard are nowadays considered to be among the most accomplished British women still life painters of the 19th century. Stannard is associated with the Norwich School of painters. She also travelled to Holland to study Dutch art and was given permission to copy Jan van Huysum's work which was then highly praised. She had a long and distinguished career as an artist and many of her works are house in Norfolk Museums. Painted circa 1840, this lovely composition is a naturalistic floral arrangement in an urn on a marble ledge. The flowers are a mix of whites, pinks and blues with some geraniums, roses, daisies and mallow. There is a beautifully detailed dragonfly and butterfly as well as a little snail on the marble ledge. One side of the background is darker than the other which shows of the flowers against it to great effect. The colours are vibrant and brush work detailed. This painting is a fantastic example of Stannard's work and clearly shows how well she deserved her superb reputation as being one of the most accomplished female 19th century still life painters. Provenance: Oscar and Peter Johnson Gallery, London Condition. Oil on panel, 20 inches by 15 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a beautiful gilt swept cradled frame, 27 inches by 22 inches and in good condition. Emily Stannard (née Emily Coppin; 8 February 1802 – 6 January 1885), who from 1826 called herself (even during her long widowhood) Mrs Joseph Stannard, was a British still life painter. She was associated with the Norwich School of painters, Britain's first provincial art movement. Along with her niece Eloise Harriet Stannard, she is considered to be the most accomplished British female still life artist of the 19th century. Stannard was born in Norwich of artistic parents. In 1820, she travelled with her father Daniel Coppin to the Netherlands to study the paintings of Jan van Huysum and other Dutch masters, an episode which influenced her artistic style. She married the Norwich artist Joseph Stannard in 1826, but was widowed four years later. She painted until she was in her eighties, mainly depicting paintings of flowers in vases...
