Daniel Ridgway Knight | Genre painter

Daniel Ridgway Knight’s (1839-1924) works represent so many aspects of Nineteenth Century painting, including history, genre, landscape, portrait and floral themes.

In each work, all that is aesthetic is recorded with fine detail and skill.

In order to faithfully record the scenery, night studied the different phases of the day and their effects on the environment.

Knight built a glass studio outside of his home, enabling him to paint outdoors, even in the dead of winter.

Peter Graham Roi, 1959 | Modern Colourist painter

Peter Graham Roi has earned a reputation as one of Britain's most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists.

Still life occupies an important place in Peter Graham’s output, affording an opportunity to explore colour in a reflective manner.

"In the peace and quiet of my studio", he wrote in a recent article for ‘The Artist’, "I can focus on the particular characteristics of a pigment, trying to get to the truth of what colour actually is and understanding more about the special relationships between specific colours like red, green or yellow. Still Life painting is the perfect vehicle for this type of expression".

Henry Herbert La Thangue | Genre painter

British painter🎨 Henry Herbert La Thangue (1859-1929) was noted for his strong convictions and forceful personality.

In 1886, having completed his studies in Paris, he was the instigator of an abortive movement to reform the Royal Academy.
