About the Item

‘Old Trent Bridge, Nottingham’ by Andrew MacCallum (1821-1902). The painting - which depicts the ancient 14th century viaduct in its final years prior to demolition in 1871 - is signed by the artist and was exhibited at the Society of British Artists in 1849, the first painting by Andrew MacCallum to be shown at a major London exhibition. Academy Fine Paintings is fully conversant with the latest American Government import duties and the legal exemptions which, under the supreme law of the U.S. Constitution, enables us to ship paintings to America free of reciprocal trade tariffs. Clients should also note that tracked and signed for international shipping is always complimentary. Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. Andrew MacCallum entered the Government School of Art (the future Royal College of Art) in 1852 where he was taught by Richard Redgrave RA (1804-1888) and John Rogers Herbert (1810-1890). Of all the fine painters to emerge during the 1850s, either through what became known as “the South Kensington System” or, like John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt, the Royal Academy Schools there was no finer draftsman than Andrew MacCallum. His meticulously detailed pure landscape paintings are gloriously vibrant, yet never gaudy, celebrations of the English countryside and – as in the case of the current work – can be considered in the first rank of 19th century British topographical painting. Between 1849 and 1889 Andrew MacCallum exhibited 53 times at the Royal Academy as well as at the British Institution, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery and the Dudley Gallery in London, and internationally at the Paris Salon, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Today his paintings can be found in Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
