He was educated at Leeds High School and during the evenings studied at Leeds School Of Art under Gilbert Foster who was a pioneer of the art colony at Staithes.

Owen Bowen received his first paint box as a christmas present when he was four. His brother, Miles, provided his initial art training but he soon came under the influence of Gilbert Foster at evening classes in the Leeds School of Art and privately at his studio.

He first exhibited in 1888 at the age of fifteen. The Yorkshire Union of Artists was formed in that year and he was involved at the very outset, winning two medals in the amateur section. At the second annual exhibition, four of his landscapes were hung in prominent positions. A fracas with the secretary during the third annual exhibition resulted in his expulsion at the age of only seventeen.

He had his own studio at eighteen and started exhibiting at the Royal Academy the following year. During the subsequent years, he regularly visited Staithes. To assist these summer activities, he rented a cottage for over ten years at Robin Hood''''s Bay. He exhibited extensively and mounted two major exhibitions of his own work.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Impressionist still life works from this period emphasise light, expressive brushwork, and atmospheric compositions rather than precise anatomical detail. Artists frequently utilised impasto techniques to convey texture and movement within botanical subjects.

Artists typically applied oil-based pigments onto stretched linen or cotton canvas, or rigid wood boards prepared with a gesso ground. Paint was applied using natural hair brushes or palette knives to achieve varying surface textures.

Authentication involves examining artist signatures, analysing pigment composition, and evaluating craquelure patterns consistent with age. Inspection under ultraviolet light also reveals historical restoration, varnishing, or retouching.

A floral oil painting serves as a focal point when positioned above traditional or contemporary furniture pieces such as sideboards or mantelpieces. Modern schemes often contrast framed historic artworks with neutral wall palettes and minimalist decor.

Oil paintings should be kept away from direct sunlight, excess humidity, and direct heat sources to prevent cracking or warping. Light surface dust should be gently removed with a soft, dry brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or water.
