Clipper Ship Painting, Oil on Canvas. In the style of Montague Dawson. Signed indistinctly. Overall size: 25 3/4 X 29 in. Sight size: 17 1/2 X 20 1/2 in. #1464 . Montague Dawson was born in Chiswick, England in 1890, the grandson of Henry Dawson and nephew of Henry Alfred Dawson, both landscape and marine artists of note. He began drawing as a child, completing his first watercolor sunset just after his fifth birthday. Dawson never attended art school, but in 1910 he joined a commercial art studio where he worked on posters and developed his skill in illustration. He joined the Royal Navy in 1915 and became known for his portrayals of sea battles. After the war he exhibited at the Royal Academy, and Queen Elizabeth presented his painting of the Royal English Yacht Blue Bottle to the Duke of Edinburgh. Dawson researched carefully for a painting and never knowingly left an inaccuracy uncorrected even for the sake of artistic effect. His hyper-detailed style was widely imitated and continues to influence maritime artists into the 21st Century, long after his death in Sussex in 1973. Although this piece is signed at the bottom right, no information can be found about the artist, nor where or when it was made.
