Product description
Richard Beavis (1824-1896) "rounding up cattle" 74 by 108 cm.
Richard Beavis (1824-1896) was a 19th-century British painter with a distinguished career and a wide range of artistic activities.
Richard Beavis was born in Exmouth, England, in 1824. Although his father was a cobbler and wanted to train him in his trade, Beavis showed a strong interest and skill in art from an early age, decorating walls of the house with drawings of animals and everyday objects.
In 1846, Beavis moved to London and enrolled as a student at the Government School of Design at Somerset House. This school housed the Royal Academy and the Society of Antiquaries. In 1850 he became a designer for the Trollope company, a decorating firm.
Beavis first exhibited works at the Royal Academy in 1850 and was admitted as a member in 1862. His successful works included watercolors and oil paintings, including "A Mountain Rill" and "Fishermen Picking Up Wreck At Sea."
Beavis preferred painting landscapes in Brittany and the Forest of Fontainebleau. His inspiration came from his French contemporaries of the Barbizon School. He exhibited over three hundred works in important London exhibitions and won prizes for various subjects.
Success and Recognition: Within a short period of time, Beavis established himself as a well-recognized national artist. His works, both watercolors and oil paintings, were highly appreciated by the public. He regularly took part in the exhibitions of the Royal Academy.
Beavis left a considerable legacy and some of his works can still be seen in museums and art galleries in Glasgow, Sheffield, Sunderland, Melbourne and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
His versatility and contribution to landscape painting make Richard Beavis an important artist of the 19th century.
