Rosa Branson MBE b. 1933 Oil Portrait Young Lady
We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely oil on canvas by the celebrated artist Rosa Branson MBE, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner and dated it 1988. The portrait depicts a young lady with light brown hair pulled back into a knot at the base of her neck, who is wearing a pale grey off the shoulder evening dress. The dress has a scalloped edge to the bodice, which is covered with embroidery and pearls, as is the panel down the front. She is carrying a translucent fan with delicate patterning, through which can be seen the other shoulder of the dress. The necklace and matching bracelet are in gold with red cabochons and she is wearing long white gloves. The work on the antique jewellery, fan and pearl encrusted embroidery has been executed in slight relief. The quality of the painting is outstanding.
Rosa Branson was born in 1933, the daughter of the artist Clive Branson and her father was the inspiration for her work. He had promised to teach her to paint, but was, unfortunately, killed abroad at the end of WWII and was unable to fulfil this promise. However this only made Rosa more determined to become a real painter.
However, she graduated from Camberwell School of art, joined the Slade School, but found that she still had not acquired the skills needed to meet her needs. She has been told that, as a female, it was only appropriate for her to paint small works and that she would need to paint for at least 6 hours a day to become a professional painter. She went on to learn by copying the Old Masters at the National Gallery, where she was noticed by their Chief Restorer Professor Helmut Ruhemann, from whom she received tuition and guidance for the next six years.
Her main speciality is the Old Master oil painting technique of laying subtle glazes of translucent paint over each other, and her subjects include portraiture, still live, animal paintings and, over the last 20 years, painting many large scale (8' x 5') paintings to promote the work of charities such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Oxfam, Barnardos and Rotary International. She has donated at least 15 of these large painting to charity to enable them to raise funds.
She was awarded an MBE in 2010 for her services to art and charity and in 2013, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Winchester. A photograph of her receiving this is available on google images.
She is also involved with the Worlington Project, which seeks to promote classical in drawing and painting for art students and young artists and has mentored several rising artist such as Tanja Hassell and Heath Rosselli.
Rosa has produced over 600 paintings in her career and works 7 hours every day of the week at her busy studio in Highgate in North London and has done so for 60 years. She starts at 9 a.m. every day and finishes at 5 p.m. This is a fantastic work ethic for a lady of over 80.
She has exhibited at the Royal Academy, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and many other galleries. To see examples of her work, please look on google and google images.
The painting has been framed in a 5" pale grey/silver frame, which echoes the embroidery. The painting is ready to hang.
