John Mulcaster Carrick
(1854 Inveraray, Scotland - 1878 London, England)
Born in Scotland in 1833, John Mulcaster Carrick, spent most of his working life in London. After travelling in France, Switzerland and Spain he finally settled at Sudbury-on-Thames in Middlesex.
Some of his paintings are in the style of the Pre-Raphaelites (The Village Postman), but he produced mostly small formatted landscapes, full of atmosphere and with strong light and shadow contrasts. His style is known for the meticulous detail which he devoted to these paintings and also to his marine scenes. Normally he produced a meticulous drawing from which he then rendered a version in oil.
From 1854, at age 21, to 1878 he exhibited at the Royal Academy, at the British Institution and in Suffolk Street. He was the brother of Robert Carrick, also a painter, and lived at 10 Montague Street, off Portland Square in London.
The Boat at Richmond Bridge is a fine example of his marine paintings, inspired by living on the Thames at Sudbury. It is characteristic of his meticulously detailed style and the light and airy colours he deploys for this summer scene give a particularly attractive painting.
