Biography: Painter in oil and water-colour and etcher
of landscape subjects. Born in
Tulse Hill,
Brixton, London, on 29th March
1869. As a
boy he was attracted to the illustrations
in Harper's Magazine, which he
copied in
colour. These were shown to Mr.
Sparkes of
the R.C.A. who was impressed
by the quality
of the work. As a result the
boy entered
the R.C.A. where he studied under
Sparkes
1887-90. He later attended the
evening classes
at the Lambeth and Westminster
Schools of
Art. He was much influenced by
Daniel Alexander
Williamson, a painter of the
Liverpoor Schol,
and for many months they worked
together
at Williamson's home in Broughton-in-Furness.
At first he painted water-colours
and produced
some etchings, but later worked
increasingly
in oil. He painted widely in
the North Country,
particularly in Yorkshire and
the Upper Furness
district, and also in many other
parts of
England and Wales. Travelled
in Spain, Italy
and France. Exhibited at the
R.A. from 1890.
Elected A.R.E. 1891, R.E. 1895
(membership
ceased 1916, but re-elected A.R.A.
1920,
R.A. 1927 and Senior Academician
1945. First
one-man show held in 1898 at
the Dowdeswell
Gallery. Represented in many
public collections
at home and abroad. Lived for
some years
at Sutton, near Pulborough, Sussex,
and later
at Ulverston, Lancashire, where
he died on
5th December 1957. His son, Claude
Muncaster,
is a well-known artist. - from
