James Orrock Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
Scottish, 1829-1913
James Orrock originally trained as a dentist in Edinburgh before moving to Nottingham where he began to paint and first studied art at the Nottingham School of Design. Following a move to London in 1866, he embarked on a career as a full-time artist. He first was elected an associate in 1871 and, later, a full member in 1875 of the Royal Institute. Throughout a long career, Orrock exhibited widely and with success and was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards. As a watercolorist and landscape artist, Orrock was influenced by David Cox, in both his style and subject matter. He was a passionate advocate of British art and, following his move to London, became a major collector of fine and decorative arts. He primarily collected English 18th and 19th-century pictures and watercolors, 18th-century furniture, and 17th and 18th-century Chinese porcelain. Orrock established himself as a leading taste-maker in society, becoming a passionate and, finally, successful advocate for the establishment of a National Gallery of British art.

View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouache
Located in PARIS, FR
Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education.
Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home.
The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...
