Seagate Beach, Late Afternoon, by Scottish painter and draughtsman Richard Hunter (1935–2014), is a serene and finely observed oil painting that captures the quiet atmosphere of Arbroath’s shoreline in the fading light of day. Renowned for his precise and sensitive studies of the Scottish coast, Hunter combines subtle tonal shifts with careful composition to evoke a deep sense of place. A formative travelling scholarship journey introduced him to the art and lifestyle of Italy, sparking a lasting love for its culture and cuisine - but it was the textures, colours, and rhythms of Arbroath that remained central to his artistic vision.
