ABOUT THE ARTIST

Robert Mann was born in 1841 in Handsworth, Birmingham, where he lived for the majority of his life. He was one of many Birmingham artists of that era and painted landscapes, primarily in oils, including scenes in Wales like this one. He lived at various addresses in Birmingham with his wife Sarah Isabella and their children, including Soho Hill, Crompton Road, Churchill Road, and Varna Road, Edgbaston.

Unfortunately, we haven't as yet, managed to trace the year of his death, but it was after 1911.

He exhibited 23 paintings at the Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham between 1869 and 1892.

There is one of his paintings in the National Collection and can be viewed at Torre Abbey or on BBC - Your Paintings under the name of the artist.

There are auction results available for his work at the usual sites and the record price in recent years for one of his paintings is £3,250 at Christies in March of this year for a 25" x 14".

Our example is competatively priced and represents value for money.
