- T.K. FAIRLESS OIL ON CANVAS STILL LIFE
T.K. FAIRLESS OIL ON CANVAS STILL LIFE PAINTING.Oil on Canvas Still Life Painting Signed "T.K. Fairless" Lower Right. (Thomas Kerr Fairless, 1825–1853), landscape-painter, born in 1825 at Hexham, Northumberland, was one of the sons of Joseph Fairless of Hexham, a well-known and popular antiquary, whose name is inseparably connected with the history of Northumbrian antiquities. Young Fairless showed an early predilection for art, which was encouraged by his parents. He was a great student of Bewick's vignette engravings, and for some time worked under Bewick's pupil, Nicholson, a wood-engraver, at Newcastle. Being dissatisfied with his progress he came to London, with the intention of making art his profession, and devoted himself to landscape-painting. His works were executed in a broad and vigorous manner, with a fine idea of color and exquisite feeling for the beauties of country scenery, gathered during the summer days among the woods and pastures of England. From 1848 to 1851 he was an exhibitor at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Suffolk Street Gallery. He had considerable practice as a teacher of drawing and painting. He also painted sea-views and still life's. He intended practicing his art in Scotland, however with poor health in Hexham he died on 14 July 1853, in his twenty-eighth year. Image size 9-1/4" x 13", in an ornate gilt frame, 17-1/2" x 21-1/2" overall.
