Oil on canvas, signed with initials and dated 1914 lower right

Brownell first visited the Caribbean around 1911. By 1915, he had made several trips to the area and painted approximately forty canvases, watercolours and pastels. Eric Brown, the first director of the National Gallery, was an advocate of Brownell’s work and accompanied him to the West Indies on at least one occasion. It is recognized that his style underwent a significant change after these visits as he was enchanted by the brilliant tropical light and world of exotic textiles. This small body of work is known to be some of his best and most sought after, many being housed in major Canadian institutions.

Trained as a decorative mural painter, Montézin was strongly influenced by the Impressionists, and enjoyed a long and successful career as a landscape and still life painter, equally adept in oils, pastels and gouache. Admitted to the Legion of Honour in 1923, he served on the jury of the Salon des Artistes Français in 1932. In the same year a large retrospective exhibition of his work, numbering over two hundred works, was held in Paris. In 1940, Montézin was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, taking the place of Edouard Vuillard, who had died. Montézin's work is in the collections of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Musée du Petit Palais, Paris and the Städtische Kunsthalle in Mannheim.

Burnham Beeches is a 375 hectare site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve.

Since the 19th century, the southern half has been owned by the Corporation of London and open to the public. It is perhaps best known today as a popular film site having been used for Harry Potter, Robin Hood, The Princess Bride, Goldfinger, and many other movies. Historically, it was a popular site for artists in the late 19th century.

Lake Como is a bustling town where wealthy Milanese summered to escape the oppressive heat of the city. For much of the 18th and 19th centuries, the region enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity as the area’s silk manufacturing began to flourish. Large villas and summer retreats were built along the lakeside and in the hills above Argegno. The stunning scenery attracted a variety of artists and was featured in paintings as well as poems and music.
