Sunset on the River

Original Oil Painting on Canvas

by Daniel Sherrin (1868-1940)

A very fine oil painting on canvas depicting a river scene at sunset with figures and a small village on the afr side of the river by highly regarded landscape painter Daniel Sherrin. The painting is a fine example of the artist's work, the sky is very atmospheric and the whole composition is beautifully rendered. The painting remains in very fine condition, the canvas not lined and with a single patched repair to the canvas upper center. The painting is clean, attractive and ready to hang, presented in an attractive early 20th century wood and gilt composite frame which remains in fine condition. The painting is signed lower right.

Daniel Sherrin was born in Brentwood, Essex in 1868, being the son of John Sherrin,R.I. (1819-1896) who specialised in Still Life subjects. Daniel studied under his father and became a pupil of B.W. Leader, the well known landscape artist and a member of the "Williams" family. He lived for a while on the East Coast near Whitstable and although primarily a landscape artist, he also painted along the shores of Suffolk and Norfolk. In his early period he painted Sailing Ships very similar to those of Thomas Somerscales and early Montague Dawson's; later he turned to landscapes and these he painted with technical ability and competent brush strokes. It is also accepted that as well as painting under his own name Daniel Sherrin, he occasionally painted under the pseudonym of 'L. Richards' and ‘Horace Gallon’. His paintings were often used for book illustrations and a scene titled "In the Highlands", depicting Highland Cattle by a Loch, can be seen in a book titled "British Highways and Byways from a Motor Car", by Thomas D. Murphy, which was published in 1908. He was commissioned by King George V to paint Sandringham and this painting still hangs in Buckingham Palace. During the first World War he did valuable work on the design of posters in connection with recruitment for Kitchener's Army and this work is currently in the archives of the Imperial War museum. His son Reginald Daniel Sherrin (1891-1971) was also an artist, who painted in watercolour and specialised in moorland and coastal views.

Sherrin's work makes thousands of pounds at auction. Please see the snapshots of previous auction results in the photograph section.

Art as an Investment

In these uncertain financial times tangible assets such as gold and art are being recommended as a safer alternative to stocks and shares by many leading experts.

“Companies go bust, artists don’t,” said David Douglas an Irish art expert of the recent economic turmoil.

Damien Hirst's phenomenally successful sale at Sotheby's recently illustrates that high end art is able to prosper in an economic downturn. Less well publicised are the examples of the many thousands of lesser known artists whose work continues to increase in price when offered at auction.
