§ Claude Muncaster RWS, RBA, SMA, ROI (British 1903-1974) On the edge of the Blue Mountains, Jamaica signed 'CLAUDE MUNCASTER' (lower right); artist's label to the reverse oil on canvas 100 x 116cm Exhibited: London, The Federation of British Artists, Miami Exhibition (3) Footnote: An enthusiastic sailor, Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and one of the principal maritime painters of the 20th century, Claude Muncaster was born Grahame Hall, in West Chiltington, Sussex, in 1903. The son of noted Landscape painter, Oliver Hall RA, Muncaster was tutored in painting from a young age, and, whilst the pair shared an aspiration “to carry on the best traditions of English painting”, in 1922 Muncaster changed his name to avoid any suggestion that his nascent career was indebted in any way to his father’s reputation. First exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1921, Muncaster held his first solo exhibition in 1926 at the Fine Art Society, became a member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1936 and was appointed President of the Society of Marine Artists in 1939. Drawn impulsively towards the sea and aiming to ‘paint ships and the sea with greater authority’, Muncaster spent the 1920s and 1930s sailing around the world as a deckhand. In his sketchbooks and notepads, Muncaster documented all aspects of nautical life, from the ferocious storms and rugged shipmates to the lucent sunsets and balmy, tropical evenings. During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, working as a navigator between 1940 and 1944, before being appointed as a naval camoufleur.

Used as the cover illustration for Martin Muncaster’s 1978 biography of his father, in 1979, possibly a result of the publicity surrounding the book, the painting re-emerged. Thought to have been painted in 1931 on a voyage aboard the Olive Bank from Melbourne to England, chronicled by Muncaster in his 1933 publication Rolling Round the Horn, the present lot, with its deftly observed matrix of rigging and dynamic canted angle, is demonstrative of both Muncaster’s lived experience and his comprehensive maritime knowledge.
