Sir Alfred Munnings
1878 - 1959
 
Sir Alfred Munnings (1878-1959) was born in Mendham, Suffolk, to an East Anglian farming family. He first indicated his artistic talent during his apprenticeship to a firm of lithographers in Norfolk, where he studied at Norwich School of Art in the evening. By 1899 he had exhibited two paintings at the Royal Academy. After working as an official artist in the First World War, Munnings married and settled permanently at Castle House in Dedham, Suffolk. Concentrating particularly upon equestrian work he was so successful in what was, at the time, an unfashionable field that he rose from his relatively humble beginnings to become both a knight and the President of the Royal Academy between 1944 and 1949.

Munnings was an enthusiastic horseman and most of his greatest works featured either the racecourse or the hunt. His sporting scenes have developed a reputation as being amongst the greatest of twentieth century. He also painted very personal interpretations of the English countryside, as well as portraits, but these themes tended to be eclipsed by his tremendous success as a sporting artist. With Stubbs and Herring, Munnings is one of a trio of the greatest sporting artists of all time. Munnings's work is now on display at many of the most prestigious galleries and museums in the world.
