MWW Artwork of the Day (9/5/22)
Allan Douglas Davidson (British, 1873–1932)
Jenning's Forge (c. 1915)
Oil on wood, 45 x 44 cm.
Bruce Castle Museum, London
Son of the artist and etcher Thomas Davidson, who in 1882 had a purpose built studio in Hampstead, the young Allan was encouraged to paint from an early age. He studied at the Academie Julian in Paris, where he was influenced by the style of the emerging impressionist painters. These artists broke from the tradition of European painting, using a rapid, broken brushstroke, an awareness of light and shade, painting in bold colours, capturing the subjects without detail, and painting the image, as one would see it, if they just caught a glimpse of it. His favoured genre was figures and portraits but Davidson is especially known for his studies of nudes, often depicting himself at work in his studio, painting his favourite models.
