About the Item
The Autumn Run, Salmon Fishing Oil Painting.
A signed oil painting on board of a leaping salmon by Arthur J.W. Burgess, R.I. R.O.I. The oil painting is signed bottom right-hand corner and is in original decorative gilt period frame. To the reverse are two paper labels, 'Autumn Spates - Royal Institute of Oil Painters - Arthur J.W. Burgess, R.I. R.O.I (8)' and 'The Autumn Run - Royal Institute of Oil Painters - Arthur J.W. Burgess, R.I. R.O.I'. Burgess was a well-known Naval Artist, fishing being his recreation, it was a major one in the inter war years when he pursued it in Wales and Scotland whenever possible. He was born in Bombala, New South Wales, Australia, 1879, a Son of an officer in the Australian Navy, who being an artist himself encouraged Arthur to draw from an early age. Burgess completed a three-year apprenticeship with a Sydney architect and with an early talent in art and an interest in marine painting, used his leisure time to sketch in Sydney Harbour. Arthur James Wetherall Burgess later studied art in Sydney before he emigrated to England just after his 21st birthday and continued his studies in St Ives, Cornwall. Burgess began to make a name for himself as a marine painter, including work for the Illustrated London News, The Sphere, The Graphic and for shipping companies.
During the First World War he became Official Naval Artist for the Australian Government. From 1922 to 1930 Burgess was art editor and principal artist of Brassey's Naval and Shipping Annual. He was also commissioned by the Illustrated London News to record the growing inter war interest in winter sports in the Swiss Alps, thereby Alpine paintings joined marine ones in his exhibiting record. In both 1928 and 1932 his work featured in the Olympic art competitions. Burgess became an official Australian war artist for the Second World War, also being commissioned by various ship owners to paint their merchant ships and convoys in ports all over the country. Having made rough sketches, he would returned to his studio in Ludlow to complete the finished paintings. After the war Burgess spent his last years largely recording activity in the Thames and the London Docks, dying on 16th April 1957, aged 78.
Works by Burgess are held by the National Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney and several British public collections, including the Imperial War Museum, the National Museum of the Royal Navy, and the National Maritime Museum.

- Golf Oil Painting of Dr. William Laidlaw Purves by Hon. John CollierBy John CollierLocated in Oxfordshire, GBImpressive modern Golf Portrait, William Laidlaw Purves. Large oil on canvas of Dr. William Laidlaw Purves after the original oil painting by the Hon. John Collier (1850 - 1934), a prominent London artist.

A very influential man, he was one of the key figures behind the spread of the game of golf in England towards the end of the 19th century. He won many important club trophies, the last being in 1914, aged 71 with a handicap of 3. He died at his home Hardwick Cottage, Wimbledon Common on 30th December 1917, and at the time he was a member of no fewer than 32 golf clubs. As a student Purves had played golf at Bruntsfield Links in Edinburgh and by the time of his London appointment he was a member of both the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. Upon his move to London in 1874 he joined the London Scottish and Wimbledon Golf Club. The two clubs shortly separated into two separate clubs, The London Scottish Golf Club and the Wimbledon Golf Club, but both continued to play on Wimbledon Common.
