    I just find this artist fascinating. Just cant understand why there isnt more information about this chap. Would love to hear anything about him and his work.

    • My mother was adopted by Mark Lancelot Symons, along with two other girls. Mark’s father was William Christian Symons – a renowned british artist who was reponsible for the crucifix painted in Westminster Cathedral, and other works. Look him up on google. Mark Symons died young from a brain tumour, having been hit in the head by a boat- swing the year before whilst pushing the children to and fro, I believe. My mother was only about 8 years old when Mark Symons died.

  2. good morning i am french we have a painting od mark symons who represent sir john harris playing piano.it is a very beautiful.

  3. A wonderful painter, I discovered him whilst at Reading Museum, where they have a fine work by him, but not much information about him. Definitely deserves a retrospective with bells and knobs!
