Alexander Williams RHA, 1846 – 1930

Landscape and Marine painter, Alexander Williams was born in Monaghan in 1846. The family moved to Dublin in 1860, where he studied art at the Royal Dublin Society school. In 1870 Williams first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy, and from then until 1930 showed no fewer than 450 works with the academy, not missing a single exhibition in sixty years. He was the first honorary secretary of the Dublin Sketching Club, founded in 1874, where he exhibited large numbers of works over half a century. A member of the choir of the Chapel Royal in Dublin Castle, he also featured as soloist in the choirs of Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick’s Cathedral. A leading figure in the art world of his day, he exhibited widely from Cork to Belfast, and of course in Dublin and London, working from his studio in Hatch Street, Dublin from 1893 onwards. He held his first London exhibition at the Modern Gallery in Bond Street, in 1901. He travelled extensively through Europe and exhibited as far afield as Canada, South Africa, Australia and Bermuda. ?Examples of his work are to be found in many of the National Collections, including that of the National Gallery of Ireland and the Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery.

    Enter your Maximum Bid, i.e. the highest amount youre willing to bid for a particular lot in the auction. The system will automatically raise your bid, only as much as is needed, for you to remain the highest bidder and only up to your chosen Maximum Bid, which does not include the buyers commission (VAT Inclusive) payable on all lots.


    Please note that all Maximum Bids are confidential and are not disclosed. The system will endeavour to purchase your lot at the lowest hammer price, as is permitted by other bids or reserves, if any, and subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale, and the auctioneer disclaims responsibility for any failure, for whatever reason, in this regard.


    The system will advance your bid automatically, on your behalf, only when required, up to the maximum you have chosen. This means that you may win an item for less than your maximum bid, but it also means that you can be outbid if someone else enters a higher Maximum Bid. If you are outbid for a lot, an email will be sent to you to notify you and to invite you to increase your Maximum Bid. Please note, if a bid is received in the final minute of a timed auction, the clock resets back to sixty seconds, in order to give other bidders an opportunity to respond.
