Daniel Sherrin 1868-1940 Large Oil Clipper Ship
We are very pleased to offer for sale this very large oil on canvas by the artist DANIEL SHERRIN, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner. The painting depicts a clipper ship in full sail, heeling slightly before the wind, as she races through the waves. The name 'clipper' came from clipping the wind and the British designed their clipper ships to be even faster than the American originals. In Victorian times, there used to be that Great Tea Race, to bring the new season's tea from China and the first ships home, got better prices for their tea.
To quote from Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents':-
'Daniel Sherrin was born in Brentford, Essex in 1868, the son of John Sherrin R.I., the well known flower and still life painter. There is no record of him receiving a formal art training but it is probable that he studied with his father. Most of Daniel Sherrin's work is in the style of several popular artists of the time. He painted rural landscapes after the style of Benjamin W. Leader, marines after Montague Dawson and river scenes in watercolour after Stuart Lloyd. He did not exhibit in London, but preferred to work directly under contract for a gallery, painting the subject (and styles) that they required. He also painted under the pseudonym of L. Richards and these are quite often seen on the market. The family moved to Ramsgate, Kent, when Daniel was a young boy and his father died there in 1896. Daniel Sherrin later moved to Seasalter, near Whitstable, Kent and died there on 26th January 1940. The artistic talent was carried to a third generation for his son Reginald Daniel Sherrin was also an artist.' (One of his typically large watercolours is illustrated in this book). R. D. Sherrin painted landscapes and coastal scenes principally in watercolours.
Daniel Sherrin was commissioned by Kind George V to paint Sandringham and apparently this painting still hangs in Buckingham Palace. The Imperial War Museum holds in its archives some poster designs that he executed during WWI in the recruitment drive for Lord Kitchener's Army.
There are 22 of his paintings in the National Collection , which can be viewed at artUK.org or at museums around the country.
Auction records for prices achieved by works of this artist are readily available at artprice.com (967 listings), arcadja.com (499) and findartinfo.com (491).
