David James - Godrevy Lighthouse, St Ives Bay, 1891.

Home - after 118 years!

We are selling limited edition (100) prints of this painting - details

David James - Godrevy Lighthouse, St Ives Bay, 1891.
The Painting The Artist
During the summer of 1891 a talented artist, whose seascapes already graced the walls at the Royal Academy, negotiated the steep decline to the beach at Gwithian and carefully selected a vantage point on the rocks directly opposite the lighthouse at Godrevy.

The result of his endeavours that day, a large oil painting titled 'Godrevy Lighthouse - St Ives Bay', was consigned for sale at the renowned T. Richardson & Co., Fine Art Gallery, 43 Picadilly, London.

Who purchased it remains a mystery, but it eventually found it's way to the USA, from where we recently acquired it.

'Godrevy Lighthouse - St Ives Bay' is on display in the gallery, and we will soon be offering a limited edition of 100 high-quality colour prints. More
David James, about whom very little is known biographically, flourished around 1880 as a painter of seascapes.

He was most interested in pure studies of the sea, and was particularly interested in painting waves. Much of his work, which still regularly appears at auction, was done on the coast of Cornwall. Many of his paintings exhibit a skilfully toned blue as the predominant colour and a mastery of the ever-changing nature of waves and shorelines.

He exhibited several works at the Royal Academy from London addresses in Dalston and Maida Vale between 1886 and 1897. Titles at the RA include A North Cornish Breaker and An Atlantic Roll etc. His last known work is dated 1904. The National Maritime Museum holds one of his paintings of breakers dated 1898.
Art Exchange

We are pleased to offer a unique art exchange scheme whereby you can exchange or part-exchange any painting purchased from us for a painting or paintings of your choice at any time in the future. All purchases since January 2007 are eligible, and you may exchange/part-exchange your painting for works of similar or higher value, so if your home decor or taste changes you can easily update your art to reflect those changes.

The scheme might be of particular interest to businesses, as it allows you to display high-quality, original art in your office/showroom and to update it periodically to maintain an ever-changing aesthetic display.

It is also a useful scheme for collectors who wish to "trade up" and build value in their collection.
