Henry Scott Paintings
British
Henry Scott was a painter of marines and coastal subjects strongly associated with the Royal Society of Artists. As well as painting lucrative shipping portraits for some of his wealthy clientele, he also executed several works of British and American clippers. The works of Henry Scott have often been confused with those of Montague Dawson. Scott works similarly to that of Dawson and captures a wonderful freshness and feel of immediacy. Scott’s palette is striking, with all surfaces and elements observed, capturing every movement in full flow. His sails are nearly always bellowed with a good stiff breeze which is further emphasized by the spray of the water being wiped across the top of the choppy seas. Particularly notable are his skies which move the subject, helping the canvas to feel alive. In 1970, Scott was commissioned to paint Morning Cloud, which was skippered and owned by the then Prime Minister, The Right Honorable Edward Heath P.C., M.B.E., M.P. Scott exhibited at the Society of Marine Artists, The Royal Exchange, London, The Guildhall, London and the Royal Academy, London. He also exhibited at the St. Malo Museum, France and Madison Square in New York. Henry Scott was honored as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and awarded an honorary Life Member Cape Homers by the International Association of Master Mariners.

19th Century winter landscape oil painting of figures in a village
By Nils Hans Christiansen
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Nils H Christiansen
Danish, (1850-1922)
A Winter’s Evening
Oil on canvas, signed
Image size: 11.5 inches x 23.25 inches
Size including frame: 16.25 inches x 28 inches
A beautiful winter landscape scene of a village covered in snow at sunset. A mother and son carry firewood back to their nearby cottage whilst other figures continue on home past the lake. In the distance, a church spire is silhouetted against the warm colours of the disappearing sun.
Nils or Niels Hans Christiansen was a well-accomplished painter born in Esbjerg in the Jutland peninsula of southwest Denmark on 22 July, 1850. He specialised in winter landscapes and moonlight scenes and was interested in the effects of light, often painting the sunrise and sunsets against his native land.
He first came to England in 1863 for the Royal Wedding of the Prince of Wales and Princess Alexandria. Although he worked mainly in Denmark and Norway, he spent some time in England where he is believed to have exhibited with many of the leading art galleries in London. In addition to exhibiting in England, Christiansen also exhibited in his home country at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen where he became a member.
He seems to have settled in England and on 10 September 1887 he married Alice Dickens at York Square, Stepney. Together the couple lived at 36 Dempsey Street, Mile End with their children. One of their sons, Albert Edward Christiansen (1887-1927) also became an artist. Christiansen’s success brought him royal connections and he was given a Grace and Favour apartment at Windsor by Queen Victoria. By 1901, he had become a British subject and had moved to 15 Queens Road in Plaistow, West Ham where he spent the rest of his life. He died in 1922 at Plaistow, aged 71.
His paintings are always beautifully drawn and with the inclusion of figures give added interest to the viewer. A number of his works can be found in museums and art collections in England including Epping Forest...
