His most famous paintings depict sailing ships, usually clippers or warships of the 18th and 19th centuries. Montague Dawson was the son of a keen yachtsman and the grandson of the marine painter Henry Dawson (1811-1878). Dawson was born in Chiswick, London in 1895. Much of his childhood was spent on Southampton Water where he was able to indulge his interest in the study of ships. For a brief period around 1910 Dawson worked for a commercial art studio in Bedford Row, London , but with the outbreak of the First World War he joined the Royal Navy. Whilst serving with the Navy in Falmouth he met Charles Napier Hemy (1841-1917), who considerably influenced his work. In 1924 Dawson was the official artist for an Expedition to the South Seas by the steam yacht St.George. During the espedition he provided illustrated reports to the Graphic magazine. During these years his artwork was also published in the newspaper The Sphere. His works are featured in the Royal Naval Museum and the National Maritime Museum. Dawson was present at the final surrender of the German High Seas Fleet and many of his illustrations depicting the event were published in theSphere. After the War, Dawson established himself as a professional marine artist, concentrating on historical subjects and portraits of deep-water sailing ships often in stiff breeze or on high seas. During the Second World War, he was employed as a war artist and again worked for The Sphere. Dawson exhibited regularly at the Royal Society of Marine Artists, of which he became a member, from 1946 to 1964, and occasionally at the Royal Academy between 1917 and 1936. By the 1930s he was considered one of the greatest living marine artists, whose patrons included two American Presidents, Dwight D Eisenhower and Lyndon B Johnson, as well as the British Royal Family. Also in the 1930s, he moved to Milford-Upon-Sea in Hampshire, living there for many years. The work of Montague Dawson is represented in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich and the Royal Naval Museum, Portsmouth. • We provide hand painted reproductions of old master paintings.

  • About the RSMA
    The Royal Society of Marine Artists AboutAbout the RSMA Britain is an island nation having over 6000 miles of coastline and a maritime heritage second to none. Naturally this national association with the sea has created a strong tradition of marine art. The Royal Society of Marine Artists was founded in 1939 and since then has been the focal point for much of Britain’s finest marine art. The founder members were already well-established artists, men and women in middle age, so that the Society can fairly claim to represent British marine art of the whole of the twentieth century, including many of its best- known names, such as Montague Dawson, Claude Muncaster, Charles Pears, Keith Shackleton, Norman Wilkinson and Harold Wyllie. The Society maintains a Diploma Collection of some eighty paintings which consists of works by past and present members. Today the RSMA has a vigorous membership numbering some forty-two artists. The Society’s common theme is the sea, and the members’ work is as wide and varied as the subject. Traditions of plein-air, topographical, historical, still-life, portrait, and abstract painting are all welcomed. The range of media is also wide, including oil painting, watercolours, acrylics and pastels, as well as drawings, prints and the occasional sculpture. The annual exhibition at the Mall Gallery in London is open to non-members, submitted work being subject to selection by jury. There is usually one other all- Society exhibition each year, and individual members participate in many other shows. New members are elected to the Society from an Associate level, which is itself elected.
