View from Exeter Cathedral by Peter Cumming RBA
View from The Corner of The West Front of Exeter Cathedral by Peter Cumming (1916-1993).
Acrylic on prepared artist’s board fixed to a hardboard backing. Framed and glazed. The picture is stamped on the back of the support with the artist’s name and address for Iwerne in Minster, Dorset.
The artist’s name and address is stencilled on the backboard which has been applied to the board the picture was painted on. This might suggest the picture was painted from 1979 when the artist was living at this address, however it is also feasible that the backboard has been applied after the picture was painted for support. There is a slight crease in the bottom right corner.
Exeter was surprisingly industrial and a lot of chimneys came down from the 50s onwards. Both chimneys which can be seen from behind the red brick house now cease to exist. Overall the picture matches Exeter Cathedral from the close proximity to the house, the pathways, lanterns and the basic structure of the buildings, however there are some details which are inaccurate such as the row of Castellation’s on the corner of the cathedral which are in reality few in number.
Cumming was born in west London in 1916. He trained at Hammersmith College of Art and at the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Silver Medal for drawing. During the Second World War he served with the RAF and the Air Sea Rescue service in Malta, where he often drew portraits of his comrades in return for extra rations. Drawings from his sketchbooks, of life in besieged, wartime Malta, as well as a later oil painting of the rescue boat of which he was part of the crew, can be seen at the Imperial War Museum in Valetta. Following the war he worked as a freelance artist and illustrator before combining painting with teaching in 1950, when he became lecturer at the City of Oxford School of Art – exhibiting widely in Oxford and London, and receiving many private commissions. In 1960 he moved to Dorset, took up the post of lecturer at Bournemouth and Poole college of art. In 1979 he retired and moved with his family to Iwerne Minster in north Dorset, where he lived and painted until his death. PAYMENT OPTIONS
