There is a 'mystery. painting in Swineshead church here in Lincolnshire. It was donated to the church by Herbert Ingram, Founder of the Illustrated London News (born in Boston 1811..died 1860 in the Lady Elgin Great Lakes disaster 1860) and was allegedly an 'Old Master' when donated in the 1850s. It has hung above the chancel since except for a period recently when the Chancel was being repaired. There was an attempt to get it authenticated (via the Antiques Roadshow) and cleaned but both were vetoed by the new vicar....enquiries made by Parish Council members lead to the belief that it may have been painted by one of the 19th C's notorious fakers but because of the vicar's ban on publicity we do not know for sure. It is possibly called the 'Ascension of the Cross'...can you help...it it is an old master the church needs to deal with security (and needs the funds) and insurance...... Jonathon Brackenbury.

Hi there antonio larrosa, stirling222, baconhead and macbrack,

Thanks so much for your comments. I have sent the information you provided to the Public Catalogue Foundation, who will endeavour to make any necessary changes to the data for us.

Have you spotted any more familiar artwork on the site? And have you watched any of the Guided Tours, such as this one, yet?

Many thanks,

If this is a list of paintings owned by publicly-funded bodies, why is the collection from Compton Verney included? The collection is actually owned by a private charitable trust - the Compton Verney Collections Settlement.

If the site is going to include any works generally displayed to the public, though not owned by them, are you going to include, for example, the collections of the Church of England, the Royal Academy?

A "must-see" exhibition by Atkinson Grimshaw is on until September at The Mercer Gallery Harrogate, absolutely brilliant, and free!

An image of my tondo painting by A W Gregson of pansies and maidenhair fern on white opaline glass can be found on

After receiving an email in May by a Canadian owner of a Gregson painting dated 1904 with an identical signature I had to abandon my theory that the artist was Alfred Gregson of Derby who died 1895.
Soon afterwards, yet another approach by an A W Gregson painting owner. So who is A W Gregson?

What about Val McGann who primarily painted Irish Seascapes? Where can his work be viewed? His work is compared to Winslow Homer.

I have been 'collecting' missing portraits: see www.MissingPortraits.info where they are listed by painter wit separate biographies of the sitters where known. CC

I saw the works by Joseph and Joseph Benwell Clark with interest - they were my maternal grand father's uncle and cousin respectively. He, like them, came from Cerne Abbas. My grand father lodged with Joseph when he was an apprentice in London. I grew up with a couple of Joseph Clark originals and several Victorian prints. On this site as elsewhere the attributions are confuses.

Does anyone have any further information about either artist? It would be gratefully recieved. I am nearing completion of a catalogue of Joseph Clark's works - mainly Victorian / Edwardian realist images of rural domestic scenes - and a short biography. If anyone would like a copy when it is finished I would gladly forward it electronically. There are some two hundred titles with hot links to images of some 75 works.

What about this:

And many more, but I think this could be featured :P

I want to say a very big thank you fro all the work you have done on this site, I was in Hungary painting for 3 years when Anne Marie emailed me for permission and have only just discovered the site. I am very proud to be a part of it as my self portrait was purchased in 1984 just as I was completing my foundation level. As a married mother of 2 I didn't have a lot of money for brushes and I had one fairly small sable brush to paint with until I sold my painting and I bought a much larger sable and nylon mix which cost me 50 pounds. I never had a photo of it and haven't seen it for over 20 years...thanking you once more from Lesley Collins.

paintings fulfill my life.
