From an early age he received drawing lessons from Robert Greenlees and then attended evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art where Greenless was headmaster. In 1877 he enrolled at the Academie Julian in Paris where he studied under Carolus-Duran and learnt the importance of academic study and drawing from the model. His painting A Bead Stringer, Venice gained a honourable mention at the Salon in 1885 and was then shown in Glasgow. Mann returned to Britain and settled in the Oxfordshire/Berkshire borders in the village of Blewbury and established himself as a landscape and genre painter. Although thereafter living in England, he was consider to be one of the Glasgow Boys. He made many return trips to Scotland but also travelled extensively, visiting America and the Caribbean and making many trips to France, Spain and North Africa. In 1892 he accompanied John Lavery on a painting tour through Spain. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Fine Art Society, New Gallery, Ridley Art Club, New English Art Club and Society of British Artists and elsewhere.

  • Art & Design Collections
    Art & Design Collections 1 Introduction Glasgow Museums’ art collection is one of the finest in the UK. It consists of some 60,000 objects covering a wide range of media including paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, metalwork, ceramics, glass, jewellery, furniture and textiles. It provides a comprehensive overview of the history of European art and design and includes masterpieces by major artists such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Whistler and Dali. The art from non-European cultures includes an internationally renowned collection of Chinese art. The development of the art collections began with the bequest in 1854 of 510 paintings by the Glasgow coachbuilder Archibald McLellan. He was a prolific collector of Italian, Dutch and Flemish art and his bequest included gems such as works by Botticelli and Titian. Other gifts and bequests followed, such as the collection of 70 paintings formed by the portraitist John Graham-Gilbert, which included Rembrandt’s famous Man in Armour. Glasgow’s massive expansion in the late nineteenth century saw the rise of an industrial elite who developed a taste for collecting art. Many were extremely discerning and knowledgeable and their gifts now form the backbone of the art collection. William McInnes, a shipping company owner, had a particular fondness for French art. His bequest in 1944 of over 70 paintings included work by Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso. However, the greatest gift undoubtedly came from the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell. His collection of nearly 9,000 objects included a vast array of works of all periods from all over the world, including important medieval tapestries, stained glass, English oak furniture, European paintings and sculpture and important collections of Chinese and Islamic art.
