Artist Biography

Rowland Langmaid (1897-1956) was a painter and etcher of marine subjects. He was the eldest son of Captain J. Langmaid, who was an engineer in the Royal Navy. Langmaid joined the Royal Navy in 1910 and went to sea at the beginning of World War I serving in the Dardanelles in HMS 'Agamemnon' where he made official sketches for landings. After the war, Langmaid studied at the Royal Academy Schools and the Royal College of Art. A highly accomplished engraver as well as a painter in oil and watercolour, Langmaid's style was similar to the famous marine artist W.L. Wyllie, who he studied under and collaborated with. Langmaid returned to the Active List in 1939 in the rank of Lieutenant Commander and served as official Admiralty artist to the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean Fleet from 1941 to 1943.
