Artist Biography

Francis E Jamieson (1895-1950) was an English painter who, after a holiday to the Highlands of Scotland, became obsessed with painting Highland landscapes and became one of the most prolific artists of his time. Known for his Scottish landscapes and loch scenes, Jamieson lived on the south coast of England. The paintings of Jamieson were so fashionable he was contracted to paint exclusively for various furniture stores, painting scenes on furniture. Jamieson is believed to have painted under eleven different artist names so he could sell more of his paintings undetected by his employers. These aliases include J McGregor, Graham Williams, Henry Stewart, HB Davis, W Richards, and Aubrey Ramus. The popularity of Jamieson remains strong to this day, and his canvases are in great demand. His pictures were reproduced as postcards by Ajelli and Co of London during the 1920s.
