STARK, JAMES (1794-1859)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 798 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STARK, JAMES (1794-1859) , British painter, was born in
Norwich
 , and as he showed strong artistic inclinations early in
life
  was, at the age of seventeen, articled to John Crome for three years. He was elected in 1812 a member of the
Norwich
  Society, to the exhibitions of which he had already contributed; but in 1817 he migrated to London and entered the Royal
Academy
  Schools. He soon returned to Norwich and did not finally settle in the metropolis until 1830, though he was meanwhile a
regular
  contributor to the British Institution and Suffolk
Street
  Galleries. In 184o he moved to Windsor, but after an
interval
  of some years went back to London, where he died in 1859. Between 1831 and 1859 most of his pictures were shown at the Royal
Academy
 , though he still continued to exhibit occasionally in other galleries. He undertook in 1827 the publication of a
work
  on The Scenery of the Rivers of Norfolk, which was completed seven years later; the illustrations he
prepared for it have much topographical and artistic
interest
  and show well the better qualities of his
work
 . In his pictures the
influence
  of Crome is plainly perceptible, and there is evidence also of his study of the Dutch landscape-painters; but he had little of Crome's largeness and power and his works charm rather by their gentle truth and quietness of manner than by their robustness of view or by their decisiveness of execution. There is one picture by him, " The Valley of the Yare," in the National Gallery of British Art.
