James OrrockRI (1829 – 10 May 1913), was a prominentScottish collector of art and oriental ceramics, illustrator and landscape watercolourist. Today, he is also considered as the main source of forgeries from the later 19th century, associated with copies of the works ofJohn Constable.[1][2][3]
James was the son of James Orrock, an Edinburgh dentist and druggist, living at 17 Elm Row at the top ofLeith Walk.[4]
He was educated in medicine, surgery, and dentistry atEdinburgh University, after which he practised as a dentist inNottingham. Orrock studied painting underJames Ferguson,William L. Leitch, andJohn Burgess, later enrolling at theNottingham School of Design where he was taught byThomas Stuart Smith.
He settled in London by 1866, becoming an associate of theRoyal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1871, exhibiting at theRoyal Scottish Academy andRoyal Academy. His later style was highly influenced byDavid Cox, his paintings today are on show in various museums and galleries, including theVictoria and Albert Museum.[5]
A strong advocate ofJ. M. W. Turner and British art in general, he was a renowned collector of paintings and oriental ceramics. A landscape painter and watercolourist, he is now believed to have restored, altered and improved works by other painters within his collection. Orrock created art-period rooms in his house, which he opened to the general public.[6]
Having on two previous occasions bought furniture and paintings from Orrock's personal collection,[1] on Orrock's deathLord Leverhulme bought most of his art collection, and some one thousand of his own paintings. Part of that collection was used to create theLady Lever Art Gallery atPort Sunlight.[7][8][9][10][11][12] It was later confirmed that two watercolours by Cox bought by Leverhulme from Orrock wereforgeries.[1]
Today, Orrock is also notable as having commissioned, but not himself forged, many of the forgeries associated with the works ofJohn Constable.[2][3] His association with one copy ofA Sea Beach Brighton painting by Constable was featured on theBBC One'sFake or Fortune? in January 2014.[13]
His brotherHector Heatly Orrock (1831-1862) was a short-lived architect involved in railway station design with SirThomas Bouch.[14]
