John Samuel Raven (British, 1829-1877) Somersetshire Corn Lands at sunset oil on canvas laid to panel 10 x 20cm (4 x 8in) Provenance: H M Raven and by descent Other Notes: John Raven was almost entirely self-taught, initially by studying the works of John Crome and John Constable. He exhibited at the Royal Academy as early as 1845, and his works also appeared at the British Institution. This part of his career was focused on views of the area where he lived, near St. Leonard's, Sussex. He firstly fell under the influence of the Norwich School, but his more mature works, which show much poetic feeling, bear traces of pre-Raphaelitism. The present scene is almost certainly a study for "Somersetshire Corn Lands", exhibited: Dudley Art Gallery, 1869; Burlington Fine Arts Club 1878, Cat. No. 47; Sold Christie's, 8 June 1878, lot 147, 30 guineas to G Martineau. Label to the reverse: "Small picture of Stormy Sky. This picture is the property of H M Raven, Broadstairs, Trustee of the Raven Collection, and is loaned to ... Oak Tree House, Branch Hill, Hampstead". Cleaned by Hamish Dewar in the last few years.
