A regatta is a series of boat races. The term typically describes racing events of rowed or sailed water craft. A regatta often includes social and promotional activities which surround the racing event, and except in the case of boat type championships, is usually named for the town or venue where the event takes place. More on a regatta
Charles Ernest Cundall, RA RWS RP, (6 September 1890 – 4 November 1971), was an English painter of topographical subjects and townscapes, best known for his large panoramic canvases
Cundall was born in Lancashire. After working as a designer of pottery and stained glass he studied at the Manchester School of Art and obtained a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in 1912. Whilst serving with the Royal Fusiliers in World War I, he was wounded in the right arm and had to learn to paint with his left arm before he returned to the RCA in 1918. From 1919 to 1920 he attended the Slade School of Art, and then continued his studies in Paris. Cundall traveled widely throughout Italy in 1921 and 1923 and also journeyed to Sweden, Russia and Spain. He held his first solo show at Colnaghi's in 1927 and became known for his panoramic pictures, such as Bank Holiday, Brighton (1933), which is now in the Tate. More on Charles Ernest Cundall
