William Lakin Turner 1867-1936 Oil Derwentwater


We are delighted to offer for sale this superbly executed oil on canvas by the renowned artist WILLIAM LAKIN TURNER, who has signed the painting W. L. Turner in the lower left hand corner, dated it 1922 and entitled it 'Friar's Crag, Derwentwater' verso. Friar's Crag is reputed to be so named, as it was the promontary from which monks departed to make a pilgrimage to St. Herbert's Island. The painting depicts a scene of Derwentwater in the Lake District, with a small herd of five cattle watering near the edge of the lake. There are blustery clouds in the sky and mist swirling around the mountain tops.
WILLIAM LAKIN TURNER was born on February 27th, 1867 in Derbyshire, the son and one of four children of the well known Derbyshire artist GEORGE TURNER, whose pupil he became, along with Louis Bosworth Hurt, another well known artist. He also studied at the West London School of Art in Chelsea, where he met his future wife Lina. He painted landscapes in oil of Scotland, the Lake district and its environs and specialised in mountain and wooded scenes. A full and exceedingly well researched biography of this artist may be found by putting William Lakin Turner biography into google and you will find the biography under levenshistory by clicking on People. This is well worth reading as it provides a detailed insight into this artist and his life.
WILLIAM LAKIN TURNER is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists, The Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood, The Dictionary of British Artists by Grant M. Waters and his works exhibited in London Exhibitions up to 1893 are listed in Graves Dictionary. His auction results frequently appear in Hislop's Guide to the UK Art Market and are also shown on artprice.com (171 listings), findartinfo.com (129) and arcadja.com (80) etc. There are several British galleries listing works by this artist on google at prices into the thousands of pounds.

He was a Founder Member and Treasurer of the Lake Artists Society. He died in Sherborne, Dorset in 1936 and is buried there.
