SUNDAY NIGHT ART SNACK: WILLIAM JAMES MUELLER, STANHOPE ALEXANDER FORBES.

Santa Maria della Salute, a work by William James Mueller:





A Bristol native, he was the son of J.S. Mueller, a Prussian from Danzig who made it curator of the Bristol Museum. Mueller the son is the best known artist of the Bristol School.



Beach Scene, St Ives. By Stanhope Alexander Forbes.





The son of an Irishman and a French woman, he became the father of the so-called Newlyn School, the English counterpart of the French Barbizon School. Needless to say, they favored painting en plein air.


Both works are displayed at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.
