Frank S. Turner Oil Baggeridge Wood Staffs. 1900
We are offering this large, quite dramatic oil painting on canvas by the artist Frank S. Turner, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner and dated it July, 1900. He has also entitled the painting on the canvas verso 'Evening, The Pool, Baggeridge Wood'. The painting depicts a moonlight view of the Pool, in July when, obviously, the moon was full and created quite a lot of light.
Baggeridge Wood is located in South Staffordshire near the village of Sedgley. Baggeridge was originally owned by the Earls of Dudley as part of the Himley Estate and consisted of small farms and ancient woodland along with the parkland of Himley Park. It was later landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the 18th century the landscape is still largely unchanged from the southern boundary up to the Wishing Pools. The whole site remained as landscaped by Brown until 1902 when work began to mine the northern half when pit shafts were sunk and a cast mining operation began. The mine was then nationalized in 1947 and closed down on 1 March 1968 - by which time it was the last deep coal mine in the local area. In 1970 the western, central, southern and eastern areas were designated a Country Park with full reclamation being completed on 12 January 1981.
As we have been unable to find any biographical or prior auction records for this artist, it may well be that it is a pseudonym, and there are too many Frank Turners to look up on Census records, without a date or location, unfortunately.
The painting has been newly framed in a 3 1/2" ornate gilt frame. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size: 35 3/4" x 23 5/8" - 90.85cm x 60cm
Frame size: 43 1/4" x 30 3/8" - 109.85cm x 77.15cm
Medium: Oils on canvas
Condition: Very good. There are two small repairs to the canvas, but there is no craquelure or stretcher marks. The surface is clean and taut. The frame is new.
