SIR DAVID MURRAY (BRITISH 1849-1933)THE GOLDEN BAY, LULWORTHOil on canvas laid to boardSigned and dated '1910' (lower left); further signed, titled and numbered (verso)122 x 183cm (48 x 72 in.)Provenance:Sale, Sotheby's London, Scottish and Sporting Paintings, Drawings and Watercolours, 28 August 1990, lot 814Exhibited:London, Royal Academy, 1910, No. 171Born in Glasgow in 1849, Sir David Murray R.A. spent the first eleven years of his career working as a mercantile clerk. During this time, he attended evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art and embarked on painting trips outside of the city. Aged twenty-four, Murray decided to focus exclusively on his art and left Glasgow for the Isle of Skye, living in a rude shelter on Loch Coruisk. He moved to London in 1882, where he resided in Millais' old studio at 1 Langham Chambers until his death in 1933. A devotee of painting en plein air, Murray's landscapes were initially drawn from the Scottish isles and highlands. He spent a period painting in France and Italy, while the Thames, East Anglia and the South of England provided inspiration in his mature years. Despite the delayed start, Murray's success came quickly. He was regularly exhibiting at the Royal Academy by 1877, was elected an Associate in 1891 and a full Academician in 1905. Marion Hepworth Dixon (1856-1936), a writer and art critic, explained that Murray's artistic skill lay in his boldness to see, to attack the world as it is, and while making no mere transcript of nature, to seek neither to bedeck nor adorn it. His paintings capture the flux of nature and the prosaic beauty of the world around him. In the present work, Murray depicts a peaceful evening at Lulworth Cove in Dorset. Gulls swoop and bob along the waves, which roll gently into the shore. A warm sunset glow illuminates the canvas; iridescent colour dapples the sea and cliffs to brilliant effect. Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1910, the painting was declared his best entry of the year and a display of natural strength, with critics praising his confident handling of colour and light. 1 For Murray's early life, please see Marion Hepworth Dixon, 'The Art of David Murray, R.A.', The Ladies Realm, 1905 vol. 5.2 Marion Hepworth Dixon, 'David Murray A.R.A.', The Art Journal, 1892, p.147.3 The Art Journal, 1910, pp. 168, 170.

With a image size of 14 x 8 3/4 inches. Sir David Murray RA (born Glasgow, Scotland, 29 January 1849, died Marylebone, England, 14 November 1933) was a well known Scottish landscape painter.

He became an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1881, moving to London in 1882 where he was an immediate success. His 'My Love has gone a-Sailing' exhibited in 1884 was purchased by the Chantrey Trustees for the Tate Gallery. In 1891 Murray was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy, and a full member of the Royal Academy in 1905. About 1886 he broadened his horizons and traveled to the continent, but all of his more characteristic work was done in Scotland or England. Murray was a member of Glasgow Art Club and exhibited in the club's annual exhibitions. He became president of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in succession to Sir James Linton in 1917; the year before he was knighted in 1918. Murray did not marry and during the whole of his life in London he occupied the same bachelor's quarters - the studio of Millais in Langham Chambers, Portland Place. Murray's work is highly valued and has sold for well over $100,000 at prestigious auction houses such as Christies.
