Gyrth Russell was a prolific and clever artist whose works were much sought after during his lifetime and have become increasingly more so since his death. He is considered one of the best coastal painters of the 20th century. Russell was born in Nova Scotia, where his father was an MP and Supreme Court Judge. He trained at the Halifax and Boston Schools of Art. Notably, he witnessed and sketched the cable ship Mackay Bennett returning to her Halifax station with her decks piled high with coffins containing bodies found after the Titanic disaster of 1912. He later studied at the Academie Julian and Academie Calorossi in Paris. At the outbreak of the Great War he became an official War Artist for the Canadian Sector and worked in France, with Augustus John, William Orpen and Frank Brangwyn. He also made etchings and poster prints to support the war effort and took part in the Canadian War Memorial Exhibition of 1919. Considerable artistic success between the wars saw him elected to membership of most leading art societies and extensive exhibiting at the major galleries.

This original oil painting depicts the tranquil scene of Mevagissey harbour on a summer’s morning. The fishing boats are moored to the quay, fishermen are going about their business, the village is relaxed. The palette is subtle yet pretty; we pick out a single red sail, the pale pinks, greens and stone colours of the buildings and the still blues of the sea, reflecting the scene above. There is a truck on the quay, dating the painting to the 1940s or 1950s.

The title is a line from a poem by Victorian Poet Robert Browning 1812-1889 called “Boot & Saddle”.
