Joseph Ridgard Bagshawe

Joseph John Richard Bagshawe (1 July 1870 – 1 November 1909) was an English marine painter and member of the Staithes group.

Born in London, he came from the prominent Catholic Bagshawe family of Wormhill Hall, near Buxton, Derbyshire, and of Oakes-in-Norton, near Sheffield,[1] the second son of County Court Judge William Henry Gunning Bagshawe KC (1825–1901) and his wife Harriet Teresa, daughter of the leading marine painter Clarkson Frederick Stanfield.

[2][4] Bagshawe regularly went out to sea with the fishermen, eventually deciding to buy a small yacht which he took out for trips that lasted as long as a fortnight.

[2] He wrote and illustrated articles for The Field, and The Yachting and Boating Monthly, which his son, Gerard Wilfrid Bagshawe, published as a collection in 1933.

Examples of his work can be found in the Pannet Art Gallery, Whitby and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
