About the Business

We're Tom and Rosamund Jordan, leading specialists in the Staithes Group of painters for 40 years. We believe that this still neglected Group needs to be written into the history of British and World art and Rosamund is nearing the completion of her book which will define and re-assess the artists and their work. These Yorkshire Impressionist painters worked in and around the fishing village of Staithes from around 1883 when the Railway first came to the village. With it came artists, many of whom trained in Paris and Antwerp at the height of the Impressionist movement. They brought with them flat-tipped brushes and a plein air techniques of the movement to which they added the substance of social realism. They exhibited in major public galleries world-wide and their works are still held by many of these establishments.
