Costantini began his artistic career in 1904 undertaking studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo under the guidance of the sculptor Mario Rutelli. There are numerous exhibitions in which he participated: in 1905 in Turin, in 1906 at the Universal Exposition in Florence and again in Florence in 1907 where he exhibited 'Fiore di Campo' and 'On the beach', shortly before moving to France. In 1908 he made his debut at the Paris Independent Living Show with two works and became a member of the French National Fine Arts Society. He returned to Italy in 1910 and participated in the IX Venice Biennale with 'Breton' and 'La cucitrice'.

On the left, the warehouses have signs which read “Fred Vink &Co / Rope & Sail Makers / Smith & Son / Hermitage Coal Wharf.”, hinting at the maritime industry. Down the shore on the right a warehouse sign reads “Hore’s Wharf.” This is a busy scene with several sailing ships and lighters. The Coal Wharf later became the Hermitage Steam Wharf, from where the London and Edinburgh Shipping Company ran regular services to Leith. -

Mark Senior is most remembered for his portrayal of the fishing community of Runswick and Staithes. His contemporaries were, Gilbert Foster, Harold and Dame Laura Knight, Frederick William Jackson, James William Booth (who was Senior’s pupil) Owen Bowen, Arthur Friedenson, Frederick William Mayor, Charles Mackie, and Roland Henry Hill who said of Senior, ‘he was one of the men for whom everybody had a great deal of affection and he regularly helped his fellow painters in a practical way’. Mark Senior was certainly entitled to the comparatively rare description of a colourist, for there was never a false note in his colour schemes which to the end of his career grew in richness and the prismatic quality sunlight can give.

DIMENSIONS: (unframed) 36.00 x 28.00 ins 91.44 x 71.12 cms SIGNATURE: Signed and dated 1874 MEDIUM: Oil on canvas Along with his brother Henry, Walter created many detailed and naturalistic street, river, and cityscapes of England. They studied life drawing with M. Barthe at Limerston Street in Chelsea where they met James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) in 1863. Walter was captivated by Whistler’s artistic style and way of life. The Greaves brothers developed a friendship with Whistler and served as his assistants and pupils. Walter Greaves recalled, “We used to get ready his colours and canvasses, prepare the grey distemper ground which he so liked working upon, and painted the mackerel-back pattern on the frames.” -
