Village near Wareham, Dorset, 1939 Samuel John Lamorna Birch (1869- 1955) Oil on board On loan from Dorset Museum and Art Gallery
Landscape painter Samuel John 'Lamorna' Birch was mainly self- taught although he studied briefly at the Atelier Colarossi in Paris. In 1892 he settled in Cornwall in the Lamorna Valley, adding the epithet 'Lamorna' to his own name at the suggestion of Stanhope Forbes to avoid confusion with the painter Lionel
Birch.
A small colony of artists formed around him including Alfred Munnings, Laura and Harold Knight and Charles and Ella Naper. Birch, a prolific painter and exhibitor made frequent painting and fishing trips, including to Dorset although it is not known if he fished in the River Frome, a renowned game fishing river. He enjoyed working en plein-air. His skill as an observer of place with a feeling for atmosphere and the effects of light and shade shine through his charming work. In the foreground a small,seated figure, possibly Birch himself is studiously painting
