John MacWhirter RA Oil River Landscape
We are delighted to offer for sale this large oil on canvas which we are attributing to the artist JOHN MACWHIRTER and who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner in red Mac W. which is how he characteristically signed his work. There is a plaque with his name on the original frame.
The painting depicts a landscape, possibly in Scotland, where he mainly worked and includes the silver birch trees of which he was very fond and a panoramic landscape in the background. This is a tranquil river view with a figure of a woman walking along the riverbank to the right. There are moorhens on the river and deciduous woodland along the banks.
JOHN MACWHIRTER RA, RI, HRSA, RE 1839-1911 was a Scottish landscape painter in both oil and watercolour, born in Slateford, Edinburgh. He was apprenticed to a bookseller, but gave that up to study art. He studied at the Royal Scottish Academy Schools, where he became friendly with William McTaggart and came under the influence of Robert Scott Lauder and John Ballantyne. He was elected Associate Member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1867 and Honorary Member in 1882, but settled in St. Johns Wood, London in 1869. He was elected a Member of the Royal Academy in 1893, and RE in 1881. He travelled extensively from the age of sixteen to Italy, The Alps, Norway, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Austria and America. He acquired a considerable reputation and wealth in his lifetime and published three books on painting.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy 1865-1904 (126 works), Royal Scottish Academy (20), Royal Oil Painters Institute (9) Walker Art Gall. Liverpool (26) Royal Hibernian Academy (10), Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour (10) Fine Art Society (229) and other venues too numerous to mention.
His biographical details are available in The Dictionary of Victorian Painters by Christopher Wood, The Dictionary of British Artists, The Dictionary of British Artists by Grant Waters, The Dictionary of Scottish Painters and the Dictionary of British Watercolour Artists by Mallalieu. Bibliography M. H. Spielmann The Art of J. MacW.
