{"title":"Bramley, Frank","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrank Bramley RA (1857-1915)\u003c\/strong\u003e was an English post-impressionist genre painter of the Newlyn School.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBramley was born on 6 May 1857 in Sibsey, near Boston, in Lincolnshire, to Charles Bramley from Fiskerton, also in Lincolnshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1873 to 1878 Bramley studied at the Lincoln School of Art. He then studied from 1879 to 1882 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where Charles Verlat was his instructor. He lived in Venice from 1882 to 1884 and then moved to Newlyn, Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving returned to England from Venice in or after 1884, Bramley established himself in the Newlyn School artist colony on Rue des Beaux Arts in Newlyn. Along with Walter Langley and Stanhope Forbes, he was considered to be one of the \"leading figures\" of the Newlyn School.\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to other members of the Newlyn School, Bramley specialised in interiors and worked on combining natural and artificial light in his paintings, such as A Hopeless Dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring his time in Newlyn, Bramley was a particular exponent of the ‘square brush technique’, using the flat of a square brush to lay the paint on the canvas in a jigsaw pattern of brush strokes, giving a particular vibrancy to the paint surface. In the early 1890s, his palette became brighter and his handling of the paint looser and more impastoed, while his subject matter narrowed to portraits and rural genre paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBramley married fellow artist Katherine Graham, daughter of John Graham from Huntingstile, Grasmere, Westmorland, in 1891. The couple lived at Orchard Cottage, which at the time was called Belle Vue Cottage, from 1893 to 1897. In 1895 they moved to Droitwich in the West Midlands. They lived at Bellue Vue House in 1889 and by 1900 had settled at Grasmere in the Lake District.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1894 Bramley became an Associate of the Royal Academy (ARA), and in 1911 he became a Royal Academician (RA). He was also a gold medal winner at the Paris Salon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBramley died in Chalford Hill, Gloucestershire, on 9th August 1915.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bramley-frank-1857-1915-domino-1886","title":"Bramley, Frank (1857-1915) - Domino 1886","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePainting by the British Impressionist Frank Bramley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 3745 pixels wide by 3070 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bramley-frank\" title=\"Frank Bramley\"\u003eFrank Bramley\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63632262955338,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Bramley_Frank_1857-1915_-Domino1886_main.jpg?v=1790087010"},{"product_id":"bramley-frank-1857-1915-winter-1885","title":"Bramley, Frank (1857-1915) - Winter 1885","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePainting by the British Impressionist Frank Bramley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4104 pixels wide by 5760 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bramley-frank\" title=\"Frank Bramley\"\u003eFrank Bramley\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63632315482442,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Bramley_Frank_1857-1915_-Winter1885_main.jpg?v=1790087298"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Bramley_Frank_1857-1915.jpg?v=1790086163","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/bramley-frank.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
