James Howe Carse (ca. 1819–1900) was a British Australian〔(artnet ), retrieved 12 October 2013〕 oil painter who specialised in landscapes. He was born in Edinburgh to a family of painters. He exhibited in the UK, won a gold medal in Chicago and rose to be described as the "best painter" in the colony of New South Wales. ==Life== Carse was born in about 1819 in Edinburgh〔 and his father is said to have been Alexander Carse,〔(James Howe Carse ), Design and Art Australia Online, retrieved October 2013〕 a well-known painter of Scottish scenes.〔Lucy Dixon, ("Carse, Alexander (bap. 1770, d. 1843)" ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2006, accessed 12 October 2013〕 It is thought that he was named after James Howe, a contemporary Scottish painter of animals.〔 Carse's elder brother William〔 (some say William was his father)〔L. H. Cust, 'Carse, William (1800–1845)', rev. Emily M. Weeks, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2011 (accessed 13 Oct 2013 )〕 was trained at the Royal Academy in London, but James was enrolled at the new Royal Scottish Academy, where his father, having returned to Scotland from London, was a founding member.〔 Although his father had exhibited at the academy between 1827 and 1836, he was not financially successful and his father needed to apply for financial assistance in 1843. He died the same year.〔 Carse was in London in the early 1860s, exhibiting paintings of Scotland and England.〔(getty.edu ), retrieved 12 October 2013〕 His paintings at that time include several of scenes around Bolton and Oldham. In 1866, Carse won a gold medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition in Chicago.〔(James Howe Carse ), DayFineArt.com, retrieved 13 October 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Howe Carse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
