New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. J. W. Oakes, A.R.A. 1876. Creator: Unknown
New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. J. W. Oakes, A.R.A. 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Elliott and Fry. This able landscape painter was born at Sproston House, near Middlewich, Cheshire. When young he went to Liverpool, and was taught the rudiments of art by Mr. W. J. Bishop, the drawing-master of the Liverpool College. For the rest, Nature has been his only school through life, as the individuality of his works and their close reference to nature amply show. But though a realist in his attention to detail, many of his landscapes are distinguished by imaginative conception and poetic treatment. In 1856 Mr. Oakes removed to London, where he has since resided. He has been a very regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, contributions by him having appeared annually on its walls, with one exception, since 1818. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases Mr. J. W. Oakes, a distinguished British painter and Associate of the Royal Academy. Born in Sproston House, near Middlewich, Cheshire, Oakes received initial artistic instruction from William J. Bishop in Liverpool. However, his true education came directly from nature, as evidenced by the realistic yet imaginative and poetic qualities of his landscape works. In 1856, Oakes relocated to London, where he has since resided and consistently exhibited his art at the Royal Academy, with the exception of one year, since 1818. The photograph, an engraving from a picture taken by Elliott and Fry, captures Oakes in mature years, with a full beard and a thoughtful expression. His occupation as a painter is evident from his attire, which includes a smock and an artist's palette visible in the foreground. The image, reminiscent of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the life of this accomplished artist, whose works continue to inspire and captivate art lovers. Oakes' contributions to the Royal Academy, which began in 1818, reflect his dedication and commitment to his craft. The print, a valuable addition to any art or history collection, offers a unique and personal connection to this remarkable artist and his time.
