Born at Watford, this painter was the son of another Richard Davis (1750-1825) who was huntsman to George III's private harriers. One of nine children, Richard Junior was also the brother of W.H. Davis and Charles Davis the famous huntsman to the Royal Buckhounds who was so highly thought of both as a rider and a huntsman.
Davis spent most of his life at Windsor; it was George III who first saw his work and arranged for him to be placed under Sir Francis Bourgeois. He also studied under William Evans at Eton, Sir William Beechey and at the RA schools, although he was never registered as a student. He first exhibited at the Rain 1802 and although he was an exhibitor for fifty years he was, like Chalon, never elected to ARA but, like him, also had a successful career. In 1829 Davis became a member of the Suffolk Street Academy Society and in 1831 was appointed animal painter to William IV. In this year he painted an enormous frieze of William IV's coronation procession which was 1,540 inches long. It is interesting to note that in 1827 the same year as Agasse, he too painted the Nubian Giraffe for George IV. George III and Queen Victoria were both patrons and for the latter he painted three of her favourite horses.
A painter of landscapes and shooting scenes as well as horses, Davis has thirty plates published in The Sporting Magazine. A number of his works were reproduced as prints, but he was probably the first artist to produce a series of prints of different hunts. Coming from so famous a hunting family he had many opportunities to follow hounds on foot and had a thorough knowledge of the subject. In 1836 he produced the first four prints in his 'Hunter's Annual' series. Each picture depicted a huntsman and hounds of a different pack. In 1839 and 1841 he produced further sets of four to complete series of twelve. This was an idea not really followed seriously until G.D. Giles but frequently used by modern artists, most notably Alain, Edwards and King.
Davis' work is variable, at best it is outstanding, strong and well finished, and his horses and hounds both delightfully painted. One might describe his horses as a cross between Ferneley Senior and Chalon.

Richard Barrett Davis
Richard Barrett Davis was an important Victorian Horse painter and Landscape artist, born in Watford in 1782. In 1789 his father became a huntsman to George III's private harriers and it was through him that Davis' sketches caught the attention of George III, who in turn persuaded Sir Francis Bourgeois (1756–1807) to tutor the young Barrett Davis. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools, where he first exhibited in 1802. He joined the Society of British Artists in 1829 and was appointed animal painter to William IV in 1831. From 1802, Davis exhibited annually at the Royal Academy for the next 50 years and from 1808, he exhibited at the British Institution and also at the Society of British Arts in 1831. The subject of this painting was also the name of a loveable if slightly ridiculous English Squire character from The Spectator (1711), who represented the values of an old country gentleman, making typical Tory politics of such a person harmless but silly. It is also the name of an English country-dance.

Exhibition Size Painting
A fantastic exhibition sized landscape painting of sheep on a cliff top by the coast by Charles ‘Sheep’ Jones. At the time he produced this painting, Jones was living at Heathercroft, Balham Hill in London. Given the size and quality of the work it was most likely an exhibition piece. The topography and landscape suggest that this is the Dorset coast, one of his favourite places to paint.
Charles Jones was an animal painter who was born in Stepney, London in 1836. He was the son of the artist Samuel John Egbert Jones (1797-1861) and Dinah Jones. He lived with his parents and 9 siblings in Mile End and was a pupil of his father. In September 1859, he married Frances Rosalinda Downe, who was born in America. His son Arthur Bertram Loud (1863-1930) also became an artist. They lived at 12 Hayes Place, Lisson Grove from where he made his debut in London at the Royal Academy in 1861. He also exhibited at the British Institution, Suffolk Street, New Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
By 1867, he had become a successful artist and they had moved to 7 Paragon Place, Brixton Hill. From 1874 he lived at Heathercroft, Balham Hill where he spent the rest of his life. Jones became well known for specialising in paintings of sheep, cattle and deer in landscape settings. He spent his time travelling around visiting areas such as Devon, Dorset, Kent, Sussex and the Highlands. However, it is for his skilful painting of sheep that he is perhaps best known, and for which earned him the nickname of ‘Sheep’ Jones.
As well as the major London galleries, he also exhibited provincially at various locations including: the Royal Cambrian Academy where he was elected a member in 1886, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, Manchester City Art Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Some of the smaller more intimate galleries he exhibited at were Arthur Tooth & Sons and Thomas...
