Philip Connard was born in Southport, England, in 1875. He was awarded a scholarship in textile design to the Royal College of Art, where he won a prize that allowed him to study in Paris. Connard returned to London and worked as an illustrator and later taught at the Lambeth School of Art. During this time, he submitted several works to the New English Art Club and became known as a painter of romantic decorative landscapes. Connard was appointed as an official war artist to the Royal Navy during World War I. The paintings and drawings completed during his deployment are held in the Imperial War Museums in London. Following the war, the artist completed several important decorative commissions, including murals at the Windsor Castle and a large panel for the RMS Queen Mary. Connard became a full academician of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1925 and was Keeper of the Royal Academy school from 1945 to 1949. He was also a full member of the Royal Watercolour Institute of Painters in Watercolours. In 1950, he was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order. In addition, he was the founding President of The Southport Palette Club, established in 1921 to hold annual exhibitions of the work of local artists. Connard's works are held in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery, Musée d'Orsay, National Gallery of Australia, Royal Academy of Arts in London, Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum of Wales.
