THE GIRL IN 'THE CHINESE COAT' – John Munnoch. 1879 – 1915

The painting is called ‘The Chinese Coat’ and is the work of a local man, John Munnoch, who was born in Stirling on 23rd September 1879. His father, Michael, a journeyman slater, was married twice, firstly (in 1858) to Catherine Sneddon, by whom he had four children – William, Robert (known as Bob), Michael, and James (known as Jim). Catherine died just five weeks after baby James’s birth, and Michael remarried in 1867. His bride this time was Helen Paterson and there were seven children of this marriage. The first child, born in 1868, was called John, but he was not the artist. That little boy died in 1875, and the first son born after his death was named after him. This was the artist. In between John the first and John the second came David, Margaret, Peter, and Helen (known as Nelly), with another son, Alexander, born in 1884. The family moved away from Stirling to the Bathgate/Broxburn sometime between 1884 and 1900. However, sometime around 1910/11 John was admitted to the Edinburgh School of Art, where he was a frequent prize-winner. This included travel scholarships, which may perhaps help to explain the Italian influence seen in some of his work. In 1914, John was on a sketching holiday in Holland with his friend Henry Taylor Wyse, a leading figure in the Scottish Arts and Crafts movement, when the First World War broke out. They returned to Scotland and early in 1915 John volunteered and found himself in the 5th Battalion (the Queen’s Edinburgh Rifles) of the Royal Scots. He left Scotland around the 9th of March, and by the end of June he was dead, killed at Gallipoli on 28th June, although the family were not informed for a further three months.

Veere

‘The Great Church at Veere, 1914’ by John Munnoch (1879 – 1915) is a recent purchase for the Stirling Smith collections, made possible by grants from the National Fund for Acquisitions and the Common Good Fund of Stirling. Scottish artists were well acquainted with Veere, as from 1541 it was the Scottish staple port for trade, and to this day, cultural ties remain with Scotland.

Munnoch was born in Port Street, Stirling and attended Craigs School and the High School of Stirling. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art where, in 1912, he gained the Carnegie Travelling Scholarship and the Maclaine Watters Medal. The following year he won the Keith Prize for the best student work exhibited that year at the RSA, and again the Maclaine Watters Medal.

Munnoch was one of the most talented artists of his generation. This was possibly one of the last works he painted before he enlisted for active service with 5th Battalion, Royal Scots and was killed at Gallipoli in June 1915. His name is on the Stirling War Memorial, and at this time of year we remember the massive loss of life, energy and artistic genius caused by the Great War.
