Sydney Mortimer Laurence (American, 1865-1940)St Ives signed, inscribed and dated 'Sydney Mortimer Laurence/St. Ives. 1891' (lower right)oil on canvas27.9 x 127cm (11 x 50in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.Born in Brooklyn, New York, Sydney Laurence is best known for his long association with Alaska. Early in his career, however, Laurence and his first wife spent nine years living and working in St. Ives. Arriving on honeymoon in 1889, Laurence became an important member of the St. Ives artist's colony.Laurence focused on painting the Cornish coast, and enjoyed early success at the Paris Salon of 1890, as well as at the Dowdeswell Exhibition the same year. Setting Sun on the Cornish Coast (now hanging in Southampton Art Gallery) was given a honourable mention at the Paris Salon of 1894; Laurence was clearly proud of this achievement, and when the work was due to be included in the influential Nottingham Castle Museum exhibition, he insisted that curator, Harry Wallis, 'leave the Salon number and the Mention Honorable card on the picture!'1Laurence also exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists (being elected a member in 1895) and the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society in Falmouth. 1 David Tovey et al, Cornish Light: The Nottingham 1894 Exhibition Revisited, Bristol, 2015, p. 108.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
