Charles Oppenheimer (1875-1961) was born in Manchester, and trained as an artist there and in Italy. By 1910 he had settled in Kirkcudbright, which at that time had an active artists' community. Oppenheimer was a landscape specialist whose work concentrates on the changing light and seasons of Galloway, Ayrshire and Italy. Being a keen fisherman he was an acute observer of river life and the effects of light upon water.
