George Gregory 1848-1939 Marine Oil Stormy Coast
We are offering for sale this quite dramatic and atmospheric marine oil painting by the artist George Gregory, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner Geo. Gregory and dated it 1887. The painting depicts an old fashioned lighthouse, standing on a high, rocky promontary, with its causeway almost swamped by the crashing waves. There are steps leading up to the lighthouse, with a woman climbing them. Below the steps, there are three men hauling a broken piece of mast in from the sea. There is a large sailing vessel heading into port and some smaller vessels further out to sea. There is a sailing barge near to the lighthouse, flying a red white and blue pennant from its mast, with one man at the tiller.
There is some writing on the back of the stretcher, which may be the title or location, but, unfortunately, this is illegible. However, scratched into the wood of the stretcher is 'No. 2 Feb. 19'
GEORGE GREGORY, 1848-1939, was the son of Charles Gregory R.W.S. 1810-1896 and they both painted in oil and watercolours, marine subjects and occasional landscapes. George's eyesight was unfortunately damaged in a fire at the age of seven, which made sustained painting difficult. Despite this, over his lifetime, he produced a large volume of work. He was born and died on the Isle of Wight at Newport, although he spent most of his life in East Cowes.
According to Census records, he spent all of his life on the island, although in 1881, he was a boarder at the Oxford Hotel in Margate, where he could have been on a painting trip. He lived with his parents up to this time at 11 Medina Terrace, Northwood, Isle of Wight, and up to 1911, the last year that the Census can be viewed, he was living with his sister's family at Medina House, Union Street, East Cowes.
The majority of his marine paintings were of the seas around the Island that he loved and the Solent, although he did produce the odd Continental landscape. He did not exhibit in London.
There are five of his paintings in the National Collection, 2 at the Isle of Wight Council Heritage Service, 1 at Kirklees Museum, 1 at Brighton & Hove Museums and Galleries and 1 at Portsmouth Museum.
We have read that his talent was such that he was asked by Queen Victoria to teach her children to paint while they were staying at Osborne House.
The painting has been newly framed in a 3 1/2" swept gilt frame as the old frame was past restoration. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size 35 1/2" x 23 1/2" - 90.15cm x 59.2cm
Frame size 42 3/4" x 30 1/2" - 108.6cm x 77.5cm
Medium Oils on Barnard & Son London canvas
Condition Very good. The surface of the canvas is in clean condition. There are two small repairs to the canvas, as shown, but there is no craquelure and no paint loss. The frame is new.
