Ralph Ellis (painter)

Ralph Gordon Ellis (1885–1963) was an English painter and designer of inn signs.
==Life and work==

Ralph Gordon Ellis was born in Arundel on 31 January 1885 at no.12 the High Street, overlooking the square. His father William was in business as a taxidermist.〔Ralph Ellis of Arundel 1885-1963: Painter & Designer of Inn Signs (West Sussex County Council, 1995〕
On leaving school, Ralph went away to London as an apprentice to a furniture draughtsman and designer, but never settled to the work. Instead, he turned to painting - an interest of his father's - by day making his living by painting houses and after work attending evening classes in drawing and painting.〔
In 1913, three years after his marriage to Gertrude Seymour, a stonemason's daughter, he opened a little shop in her home town of Bognor as an 'oil and colour man', selling home decorating materials and artists' supplies as well as his own paintings.〔
During the First World War, Ralph saw action with the Royal Sussex Regiment and the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment. Injured by shrapnel in July 1917, Ralph was discharged and returned to England. He then enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art in London where he studied until 1919.〔
Relocating to Arundel in 1920, Ralph soon established his reputation as a portrait and landscape painter and, in a highly specialised field of art, as a designer and painter of inn signs. By the end of his commercial career he had painted well over two hundred signs for the Henty & Constable brewery alone.〔
Ralph retired from his inn sign painting business in 1951 and then dedicated the rest of his life to landscape painting.〔 He died in Arundel in 1963 - a commemorative blue plaque was erected by West Sussex County Council on his home at 47 Maltravers Street, Arundel in May 1995.
