John White 1851-1933 Watercolour Branscombe Cliffs
We are very pleased to offer for sale this lovely watercolour by the renowned artist John White RBA,RI,ROI, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner J. White RI. The painting depicts Hooken Cliffs, Branscombe and the artist has entitled the painting thus on the reverse. John White painted the scenery around Branscombe many times, as he lived there for some years, as listed on the 1901 Census.
Branscombe is in South East Devon near Beer and in 1790 there was a landslip. This is a view of that landslip, from the west, of the landslip of the chalk cliffs, which are now a haven for fossil collectors and are part of the South West Coast Path. The dip between the top of the cliffs and the part that has slipped, is now filled with trees and vegetation and has become a habitat for wildlife. There are many birds wheeling around the cliffs in the painting.
John White was born in 1851 in Edinburgh. He studied at the schools of the Royal Scottish Academy from 1871 and won the Keith Prize for Design in 1875. He was elected a Member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1880, Member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1882 and Member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1886, although in our opinion, his watercolours are superior to his oils. He was a very prolific artist and exhibited as follows:- Royal Academy 40 works, Royal Scottish Academy 9, RI 190, RBA 43, ROI 106, Birmingham City AG 14, Walker AG Liverpool 16, Manchester City AG 15, Glasgow Institute 9.
There are 8 of his paintings in the National Collection, which can be viewed at artUK.org. His biographical details are listed in The Dictionary of British Artists (Collectors' Club)
In 1877, he married his first wife Emma Homewood Sanders (b.1857) and they were living in Shere Villas, Shere, Surrey by 1881. John and Emma had 4 children, Allison Sophia 1878, John Stuart 1880 and Margaret Emma and Robert, born 1882/83. However, we suppose that Emma died, but we can't verify this in the records.
In 1888, John White married Rosetta Maud Higgins in Devon and in both the 1891 and 1901 Censuses they were lviing at Marine Villa, Branscombe. In the 1891 Census the four children from his marriage to Emma, were living with him and Rosetta, although Alison appears to be called Elsie now. By 1901. only Margaret and Robert are still living with them, but he and Rosetta have had Maud Valerie 1891. Peter Ronald 1893, Melville Leslie 1895, Lawrence Arthur 1897, and Leicester Charles 1899. In the 1911 Census, he, his wife and their five sons and a daughter were living at 11 Church Street, Heavitree, Exeter, with his son Melville listed as an art student. He had gained two more children by this time, Allan George 1901 and Effie Grace Mary 1906, as, according to the Census written in his own hand, he and Rosetta had had 7 children, with 6 surviving. Maud had died in 1905.
The painting has been newly triple mounted in three tone acid free mountboard and is newly framed in a 1 3/8" silver gilt frame to suit. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size: 13 1/2" x 9 3/4" - 34.25cm x 24.75cm
Frame size: 22 3/4" x 18 3/4" - 57.75cm x 47.5cm
Medium: Watercolours
Condition: Very good. The colours are strong and there is no foxing. The mounts and frame are new.
