About this artwork

John O'Connor, a painter from Ireland, initially made his living creating theatre scenes before he relocated to London in 1848. In 1887, he created 'Ludgate - Evening,' a beautiful oil canvas painting that showcases the northern part of Fleet Street. This painting provides a view of the iconic Wren church of St. Martin's as well as the grand entrance and impressive dome of St. Paul's Cathedral which is located on Ludgate Hill in the heart of London.

About the artist

John O'Connor, well known for his wood engravings and gouaches, later became an acclaimed painter in oil and watercolour. O'Connor had a deep connection with nature, which was often reflected in his landscape work. While he never claimed affiliation with any artistic movement, his painting style was closer to expressionist than impressionist, characterised by free brushwork and often mysterious subjects.

Eric Ravilious (1903-1942), well known for his exceptional engravings from 1920 to 1940, likely influenced O'Connor's passion for wood engraving.

At just 23 in 1937, O'Connor began illustrating books, starting with an edition of Joan Rutter's flower poems, "Here's Flowers - An Anthology of Flower Poems." Throughout his RAF service from 1940 to 1946, he continued creating wood engravings, including a depiction of a devastated Berlin when he arrived with the allied troops.
