James Howe Carse
James Howe Carse (ca. 1819–1900) was a British Australian oil painter who specialised in landscapes. He was born in Edinburgh to a family of painters. He exhibited in the UK, won a gold medal in Chicago and rose to be described as the "best painter" in the colony of New South Wales.
Carse was born in about 1819 in Edinburgh and his father is said to have been Alexander Carse, a well-known painter of Scottish scenes. It is thought that he was named after James Howe, a contemporary Scottish painter of animals.
Carse's elder brother William (some say William was his father) was trained at the Royal Academy in London, but James was enrolled at the new Royal Scottish Academy, where his father, having returned to Scotland from London, was a founding member. Although his father had exhibited at the academy between 1827 and 1836, he was not financially successful and his father needed to apply for financial assistance in 1843. He died the same year.
Carse was in London in the early 1860s, exhibiting paintings of Scotland and England. His paintings at that time include several of scenes around Bolton and Oldham.
In 1866, Carse won a gold medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition in Chicago.
It is believed that Carse originally entered Australia via Adelaide in South Australia in 1867 due to ill-health. A watercolour drawing of the Kapunda copper mines is dated by Carse to 1867. Up until 1868, he did not devote much time to art.
In August 1868, Carse exhibited some of his first works at the Museum of Art at 105a Collins Street East in Melbourne, Australia. The works included landscape scenes on the Campaspe and Mile Creek, Melbourne (as seen from the Botanical Gardens) and other illustrations of bush life. By September 1868 Carse had begun commission work in animal and landscape paintings from premises at 143 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.
By March 1869, Carse had six paintings exhibited in the shop of Mr. Whitehead, Collins Street, Melbourne, including one of Coliban Falls, two of Mount Beckwith, one of Mile Creek, and the other two were unnamed. In November 1869, he had created two new works based on the landscapes in Talbot country, Victoria – one of Middle Creek near Clunes, and another of a swamp in the same area.
