* PETER FOYLE, IN THE SHADE oil on canvas, signed, titled verso image size 36cm x 46cm, overall size 49cm x 59cm Framed. Note: Peter graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art in London in 1986 when he was a finalist in the prestigious ‘Readers Digest Young Illustrators Award.’ After graduating, he practised as a freelance artist and illustrator until 1990 when he and his wife opened the Framework Gallery in Troon in Ayrshire. Peter shows his work in several galleries and exhibitions in Scotland and also recently in China. In recent years he has won several awards including the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians Award at the Royal Glasgow Institute. Peter was brought up in Dorset where, as a teenager, he could be seen cycling around the country lanes with his easel and paints strapped to his bicycle as he sought out interesting subjects to paint “en plein air.” He won a few awards and sold a number of paintings and completed several commissions while still at school. Much of Peter’s work now depicts the sparkling light of Venice and the sun-dappled cafes of Provence but he is also inspired by the Scottish Coast where they live. Cityscapes of Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as rural landscapes and harbours are all subjects he enjoys painting. Still Life painting has also been a source of inspiration, especially during the recent covid lockdowns. Whereas some artists concentrate on one subject throughout their painting career, Peter prefers to paint whatever gives him a sense of visual excitement, usually because of a special quality of light. He paints almost entirely in oil on Belgian linen but occasionally produces watercolours, especially as sketches when travelling.

He became a captain in 1794 and spent the later 1790s in the East, returning home in 1803. In February 1804 he took the 'Royal Sovereign' out to the Mediterranean and, after briefly commanding the 'Kent' under Nelson there, shifted early in 1805 to the 'Donegal' in which he took part in the great pre-Trafalgar chase to the West Indies. He missed Trafalgar itself, having been sent to Gibralter for water but rendered assistance in the aftermath. He remained in the 'Donegal' until 1811 and then became captain of the fleet in the 'Royal Oak' in 1812 and rear-admiral in December 1813. He was third-in-command during the Anglo-American War and in 1816-17 commanded the squadron enforcing the security around the imprisoned Napoleon at St Helena. The son of a Paisley carpenter, John Henning initially modelled profiles in wax and then began to produce portrait medallions. During his years in Glasgow his sitters included James Watt. He moved to Edinburgh in 1803 and studied at the Trustees’ Academy. In 1811 he went to London where he spent twelve years drawing the Parthenon friezes. With the help of his son, Henning later made large plaster replicas of the friezes to decorate important London buildings to mark the British victories at Trafalgar and Waterloo. He also made small plaster copies of the Raphael cartoons.Please refer to department for condition report
