Robert John Cameron Brough ARSA, Scottish 1872-1905- Sketch for Beggar in Anne of Brittany, a sketch; oil on canvas, signed and dedicated to my friend Mann, bears inscription Sketch for Beggar in Anne of Brittany, Picture Bought by Italian Government, Venice, on the reverse, 61.5x45.5cm Note: Robert Brough (1872-1905) was born in Invergordon. As a young and emerging artist Brough showed huge potential but his life was cut short following injuries received in a railway accident at Cudworth station in Yorkshire, 1905. He entered the Royal Scottish Academy and in his first year took, amongst other awards, the Stuart Prize for figure painting. In 1894, after two years in Paris, he settled in Aberdeen, as a portrait painter and political cartoonist. Two of his paintings 'Twixt Sun & Moon' and 'Childhood of St. Anne of Brittany' were at the Venice Municipal Gallery. In 1897 Brough moved to London and became a friend and prodigy of John Singer Sargent. It was towards the end of the 19th century that Glasgow experienced an economic boom resulting in an increase in distinctive contributions to the Art Nouveau movement, particularly in the fields of architecture, interior design and painting. From this grew a group of painters known as the Glasgow Boys; amongst their members was Harrington Mann. Both Robert Brough and Harrington Mann exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1897.
