Description:
Samuel John Lamorna Birch (1863-1935)
A June Morning
Oil on canvas
625mm x 750mm
Birch was largely self-taught, although he spent a brief period studying at the Atelier Colarossi, in Paris. He started visiting Cornwall in the 1880s attracted by the artistic scene developing around Newlyn. He settled in Lamorna Cove in 1892, and adopted the name ‘Lamorna’ in order to distinguish himself from another artist called Lionel Birch, who was working in Newlyn. This scene was painted while the artist was visiting Rothiemay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and shows his confident handling of colour and broad brushstrokes.
