Frank Moss Bennett

British

1874-1952

  Frank Moss Bennett is a name of an artist that has become hugely popular over the years right across the world. His fine pictures are now a firm favourite, not only in the UK, but in the USA, Canada and Australia too.

 His art has always been synonymous with 'olden times', choosing historical scenes of the past, set in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly gatherings of landed gentry and red coated men from the local fox hunt, to paint, like the painting below called Health to the Master.

  Frank Moss Bennett drew his inspiration from Englands glorious past. These historical genre scenes, such as settings of people in taverns and other ordinary compositions showed events in the lives of important historical figures of the time, such as King Charles I who was popular figure, as was Sir Francis Drake. He painted Cardinals going about their daily business set in their private quarters and there are paintings of men of all eras playing games of chess, Dickensian men playing cards, Elizabethan and Stuart dinner parties, squires, landed gentry, buccaneers and dashing cavaliers, were all assigned to his vast production of paintings.

 But he also painted cottage gardens and many architectural subjects, including interiors without figures. There are a large number of

paintings of important English buildings too. Paintings of inns, taverns and manors appear in his work load, Hawkenbury a favourite and he even ventured into France and Belgium to paint town and village scenes there.

 But Frank Moss Bennet also copied works of other old masters and portraitists such as Raeburn  and wasn't shy of even copying Gainsborough and Velazquez.

Examples of Frank Moss Bennett Paintings;

 Frank Moss Bennett was born in Liverpool in 1874 and lived until the 1950's.

 He was the second of four sons born to Kate née Stuart and Henry Mellor Bennett, who worked in an Iron Foundary and later become mayor of Liverpool.

 Not an great deal is known about Frank Bennett early education, except that he was probably taught at home with his brothers and that he showed an amazing talent for painting at a very early age. Completing a portrait of his grandfather they say, at only five years of age.

Bennett later enrolled in Clifton College in Bristol where he completed his education, but inevitably joined the Royal Academy School of Art in London in 1886 and began a career in Portrait painting, such as the painting below. A Portrait of Penrose de Hochepied Larpent in a blue velvet dress with lace collar and cuffs, dated 1915. Though he also painted posthumous portraits of soldiers who did not return from the great war.

 In a remarkable career he continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy for near thirty years.

Many of his works live on as fine reproductions, produced for well over a century.

 Painting this type of these almost theatrical, retrospective genre scenes that he so vividly imagined, brought about much commercial success to Frank Moss Bennett and many of his works were commissioned by entrepreneur publishers to be sold across the world where you will see them commonly today.

 Without a doubt, the most famous of Frank Moss Bennetts paintings is; 'The Landlords Story' (Illustrated left in its print form) as it has been reproduced over the years many thousands of times and has been his biggest commercial success he enjoyed as a painting. You will find it today featured on print seller sites all over the internet.

 Unfortunately we still see paintings represented as originals with the forged signature of Frank Moss Bennett appearing on them. Often innocent copies that were made by students of the arts, emulators or admirers. Even professional copyist works made for the furnishing trade and widely available today from the far east, can end up being sold as legitimate.
