About the Item

‘Green Bay, Porthcurno’ by Samuel Phillips Jackson RWS (1830-1904). The painting is signed by the artist and dated 1862. Samuel Phillips Jackson’s early oil paintings are rare and spectacular, and none more so than the current work. ‘Green Bay, Porthcurno’ is the artist’s masterpiece and shares elements in common with William Holman Hunt’s ‘Strayed Sheep, Our English Coasts’. Aside from their obvious subjective similarity, the two paintings share a meticulous attention detail and exemplary draftsmanship, though where Holman Hunt’s Pre-Raphaelite palette is lurid, Jackson’s colouring is vivid and authentically true to nature. Academy Fine Paintings is fully conversant with the legal exemptions which, under the supreme law of the U.S. Constitution, enable 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. With their granite cliffs, pale sands and turquoise waters the beaches of Green Bay, Pedn Vounder, and Porthcurno, below the headland of Logan Rock are considered some of the most beautiful in Europe.  The area was used as the beach location of the fictional Nampara Cove in the BBC drama series 'Poldark'. The strength of Samuel Phillips Jackson’s work lay in its assiduous actuality, exemplary draftsmanship, and restrained tone and colour. His determination to stay true to nature and faithfully and painstakingly reproduce what he saw without the need for lurid colours and extraneous figures makes him one of the most gifted pure landscape painters of Victorian Britain. Between 1851 and 1893 Samuel Phillips Jackson exhibited 841 works at the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour, 16 at the Royal Academy, and 9 at the British Institution. Today, examples of the artist’s work can be found in Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Fitzwilliam Museum of Cambridge University. Dimensions: (framed) 73cm x 103cm (28¾” x 40½”). Dimensions: (canvas only) 57cm x 88cm (22½” x 34¾”). Medium: Oil on canvas. Provenance: Private collection.
