Literature K67803 BRISTOL HARBOUR EDMUND JOHN NIEMANN 1813-1876 Signed & dated 55 Oil on canvas 25 x 45 inches Edmund John Niemann was a painter of landscapes, angling subjects and marines. He was born in Islington, and had a German father. Niemann worked as a clerk at Lloyd’s from 1826-1839. After 1840 he devoted himself to painting and settled at High Wycombe where he worked incessantly out of doors. He exhibited his work from 1844 to 1872, 29 works at the Royal Academy, 45 at the British Institute and 30 at Suffolk Street. In 1848 Neimann returned to London for the foundation of the Free Exhibition held in the Chinese Gallery at Hyde Park Corner. Later in 1850 this became the Portland Gallery, Regent Street, of which he became secretary. His paintings were often very large and illustrate every phase of nature. His favoured subjects were views of the Thames, the Swale near Richmond in Yorkshire and Wales. John Ruskin considered Niemann to be, ‘the heir to Constable as the master of English landscape painting’. Niemann’s son Edward H. Niemann (flourished 1863 –1867) closely followed his father’s style. Niemann died in Brixton on 15 April 1876. Works in public Collections: Blackburn; Bristol; Glasgow; Victoria & Albert; Liverpool; Manchester; Nottingham; Sheffield, Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
