William Orpen's portrait (1900) is of the painter John Everett (a distant cousin) pictured in the London studio they shared; Orpen left the Slade in 1899 and every new picture was a launchpad for new ideas, he already had a growing reputation for technique and daring.

'The Gramophone.' (1923) In the 1920s Henry Lamb echoed Walter Sickert: pared-down interiors, blunt forms, and a restricted palette of greys, ochres, and greens. Mood over polish, paint as atmosphere, not so much as display.

Francis Cadell first visited the island of Iona off the west coast of Scotland in 1912 and returned every year afterwards, frequently in the company of Samuel Peploe. He felt the light was of the same quality as that in the south of France.

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, I wish you everything you hope for in 2026. Thank you for the conversations over the last year. This is Christopher Nevinson's  'Among the London Searchlights,' painted from a hot air balloon tethered above London Bridge in 1916.

In one ancient Irish fable, the robin is called the Fire Bringer, saving fire for early humans after a wolf tried to extinguish it. The bird fanned the dying embers back to life, scorching its breast in the process and bringing fire back to the world.
Art my own.

'Sea at Sunset,' was painted towards the end of James Dickson Innes' working life, and was likely to have been done at Rye in Sussex where he went to work with Frank Slade and other friends in 1913. He died from tuberculosis the following year, aged 27.
