George Sherwood Hunter Art
Scottish, 1846-1914
George Sherwood Hunter was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, on May 30th, 1846. He was a well-traveled artist and he painted throughout Europe. He is represented in many public collections. Hunter first visited Newlyn in the 1890s, staying at Belle View in 1897. In 1902, he settled at the Malt House, Newlyn, with his wife Constance. Hunter had a studio in Bateman’s Meadow, where the Forbes School of Painting was situated, and he assisted with tuition at the School in its early days. Like other Newlyn School artists, Hunter traveled widely, including to the Middle East, where he painted a large oil depicting the wailing wall in Jerusalem, currently held by Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery. Penlee House’s only painting by him was executed whilst in Pont-Aven, Brittany, an area many other Newlyn artists had also visited. Hunter died on June 18th, 1919 and Constance died just five months later. The couple had no children, so Hunter’s share in the meadow studios was left to his two sisters in Aberdeen. The Malt House was left to Hunter’s nephew, also called Sherwood. During his lifetime, Hunter exhibited a great many paintings, including 16 works in the Royal Academy and over 60 at the Royal Society of British Artists.

Breton Courtship - British 19thC exhib art portrait landscape oil painting
By George Sherwood Hunter
Located in London, GB
A stunning 1891 exhibited oil painting by British listed artist George Sherwood Hunter. This is a glorious British Impressionist painting from his travels in Northern France. It depicts “A Breton Courtship” in blue hot summer tones and is married well with the French Barbizon frame. The couple sit opposite each other, on either side of the road they are travelling together. A fantastic painting. This is a large oil on canvas by the Scottish artist who is one of my favourite artists of the period. George Sherwood Hunter was a well travelled artist and he painted throughout Europe. He is represented in many public collections.
