WALTER FOLLEN BISHOP BRITISH-AUSTRALIAN (1856-1936) Hawthorn Blossom, Brownhill Creek, 1917 watercolour 124 x 74cm. Walter Follen Bishop was a Liverpool artist, though he also lived in both London and Jersey. Bishop worked in the strong tradition of Liverpool landscape painting, and like his contemporary J.T. Watts (1853-1930) he specialised in woodland scenes and must have been familiar with the writings of John Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites. His fidelity to nature and attempts to revive a sense of realism in landscape painting bear testimony to his adherence to Ruskinian principles. He was fascinated by the play of light on leaves, bracken, lichen and rocks. He managed to combine meticulous detail with a sense of atmosphere. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1882-1902 works such as Where moorland and forest meet, 1884, no. 992, The last rays of sunlight on forest and moor, 1885, no. 1318 and The wood with morning sunlight crowned, 1890, no. 1319 and also at Suffolk Street. He married the painter and sculptress Florence Fitzgerald (fl.1887-1927) who also exhibited at the Royal Academy works entitled By the Meadow Brook and Where the Wild Flowers grow and at Suffolk Street. Follen Bishop is known to have painted in Australia, as there are several known works of South Australian views, though little is recorded of his time here. He is represented within the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia and in the City of Burnside collection South Australia. The present work which is on an unusual scale for a watercolour, shows a romanticised English interpretation of the Australian bush, with young girls in the woods beneath towering gum tree’s.
