Question I have old painting signed John A Lomax. title is "for he had spoken lightly of a woman's name" would be grateful if you could shed any light on this
Answer Hello Josie - and thank you for your question.
John Arthur Lomax (1857 - 1923) was a Manchester born genre painter. He studied painting in Stuttgart and the Munich Academy but returned to Manchester and later relocated to London. His subjects were mostly historical of the 17th and 18th Century, especially of the civil war period, and often with a dramatic or sentimental theme. Lomax was a regular exhibitor at Suffolk Street and also at the Royal Academy from 1880. Titles at the RA include: 'Thoughts of Christmas', 'An Old Master', and 'A Flaw in the Title'.
