FRANK MOSS BENNETT - 'Joan' - Vintage Framed Lithograph - U K - Mid 20th Century

Moss Bennett was born in Liverpool and started painting from a very young age. He attended the Slade School of Art and became a professional painter of mostly landscapes and detailed interior scenes. His work, like a lot of artist in the early 20th century, was period in feel and he often painted his pictures out of period but adding authentic costume to his models and props. Some of his paintings have achieved eye watering prices at auction in the tens of thousands and some in excess of 50,000 pounds. His work is beautiful and wonderfully observed, his eye for detail is astonishing. He was a popular painter in his time and remains so to this day.
