Biography
Born in 1800, James Marshall was a landscape painter and solicitor, he and his family came to Victoria from Scotland in 1853. He showed two Victorian oil views, one of Flemington and the other of Hobson’s Bay, at the 1856 Victorian Exhibition of Art in Melbourne. The following year Marshall showed two oil paintings, Edinburgh from Memory and Warrnambool Bay (for sale at 30 guineas each), with the Victorian Society of Fine Arts. The latter was described as a 'painful crudity’ in the Examiner . The artist was probably the solicitor James Marshall, who worked in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, and lived in Napier Street, Fitzroy. Marshall showed five oil paintings at the 1866 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition: four coastal scenes from the area around Wilson’s Promontory and Bass Strait in southern Victoria, and The Junction of the Culterburn with the Dee, Aberdeenshire . From the evidence of his paintings, he kept travelling south. At the 1869 Melbourne Public Library Exhibition he exhibited eight Tasmanian oil landscapes, mainly coastal scenes from the rugged south-west area around Port Davey. James Marshall died in 1870.
