Description:
John Scott (British, 1802-1885), The Golden Spring Off Tynemouth, O/C, 1856, signed and dated lower right, depicting seascape with ship and boats, in a giltwood frame with artist's plaque. Frame size: 30 1/8 in. x 41 1/2 in.
John Scott was born in Morpeth, Northumberland, the son of bakery owners. Soon after his birth, the family moved to Sunderland, and in about 1820, to South Shields, where he was to spend the rest of his life. His early career was spent at sea, but in about 1834, he came ashore and became a grocer to support his wife of nine years and their expanding family. Changing his occupation from grocer to artist he almost certainly studied under the leading Tyneside artist of the day, John Wilson Carmichael. The Tyne provided a great variety of shipping for Scott to portray, from the brigs and snows of his early career to later barques, steamers, and wherries, and even the tragedy of shipwrecks. Scott died in his adopted town at the age of 83.
