About the Item
A wonderfully atmospheric and exquisitely painted oil on canvas late afternoon waterfront view of the English seaside resort town of St. Leonards-on-Sea, Hastings, East Sussex in 1878 by politician, author, and artist Thomas Ross (1810 - 1881) entitled "St. Leonard's-on-Sea Looking East". Depicting James Burton's villas along the marina looking from Bulverhythe at low tide; the foreground with a pair of seagulls hovering above boulders, ruined pier pilings, and beach strollers; to the left a locomotive steams past what appears to be a house fire billowing black smoke and to the right a pleasure boat near shore with steam and sailboats in the distance; initialed and dated lower right. Presented in a fine giltwood frame with description plaque at center bottom. Canvas measures 21.13" x 14". Provenance: Private New York collection, previously with The Parker Gallery, London.
Laid out as a purpose-built resort in 1826 by famous London developer James Burton, St Leonards-on-Sea quickly became a fashionable place to stay, hosting Princess Sophia of Gloucester in 1831, the future Queen Victoria and her mother, the Duchess of Kent, the winter of 1834-5, and Queen Adelaide in 1837.
Biography:
