Francis E Jamieson (1895-1950) was an English painter who became obsessed with painting Highland landscapes after a holiday in the Scottish Highlands. He was under contract to a large department store to supply them with his paintings. He was keen to increase his sales and sell to a wider clientele so he started to sign his works with pseudonyms other than his own name. It worked and it is believed that Jamieson worked under at least 15 different pseudonym names on his paintings. He became one of the most prolific and successful artists of his time.
This painting dates from the early 20th Century and is of Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe: it depicts a gorgeous Highland sunset reflecting in the ancient waters of the Loch. The depiction of the light setting behind the mountains is extremely impressive.
It is most certainly one of his most beautiful paintings.
There is no frame to the canvas but it is signed F E Jamieson in the bottom right hand corner and is in excellent condition except for a tiny tear in the canvas approx 0.5 cm wide to the base left of the picture (see last photo).
This oil painting has been confirmed as original and authentic by a leading expert in F. E. Jamieson. I can supply a copy of the confirmation correspondence.
