"Portrait of a British Officer" by Thomas Beach
About the Item
A very fine portrait of a British military officer signed and dated Thomas Beach 1774 in the lower left. This oil on canvas is presented in a period gilt frame and is ready to hang. Measuring 38" x 33" including the frame.
Thomas Beach was born in Milton Abbas in 1738 and from an early age showed a love of art. In 1760 he became a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds and about the same time enlisted as a student in the St.Martin's Lane Academy. On leaving his master he established himself in Bath, where he gained employment and repute as a portrait painter. From Bath he sent portraits to the exhibitions of the Incorporated Society of Artists(1772-83), of which body he was a member and a warm advocate in the squabbles which arose. He first began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1785, contributing portraits yearly up to 1797. His paintings are well known in the West of England and consist chiefly of portraits. His works are well drawn, carefully painted, often in a low sober tone. The likenesses are usually excellent, without concession to flattery and easy to recognise. The present painting must rate amongst his finest works in terms of quality, use of light and its ambitious scale. Works by Beach are to be found in many important collections including the National Portrait Gallery, Royal Collection Windsor Castle and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool

"Shipping Off the Coast" by Thomas Luny
By Thomas Luny
Located in Wiscasset, ME
Shipping off the coast by English artist Thomas Luny. Oil on canvas signed and dated 35' in the lower left. Nice period and possibly original frame.
Thomas Luny (1759–1837), born in Cornwall, probably at St Ewe, was an English artist and painter, mostly of seascapes and other marine-based works. At the age of eleven, Luny left Cornwall to live in London. There he became the apprentice of Francis Holman, a marine painter who would have a great and long lasting artistic influence on Luny: Luny remained until 1780 in Holman's London studio, which, was first situated in Broad Street, St. George's, and later relocated to Old Gravel Lane.
Examples of his work are exhibited at the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, and at The Mariners' Museum in Newport...
