== Biography ==
Alfred Munnings was born on 8 October 1878 at Mendham, Suffolk, across the River Waveney from Harleston in Norfolk. His father ran a water-mill on the river at Mendham. At fourteen he was apprenticed to a Norwich printer, designing and drawing advertising posters for the next six years, attending the Norwich School of Art in his spare time. When his apprenticeship ended, he became a full-time painter. The loss of sight in his right eye in an accident in 1898 did not deflect his determination to paint, and in 1899 two of his pictures were shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.〔S. Booth: Sir Alfred Munnings, 1878-1959: An Appreciation of the Artist, London, 1986]〕 He painted rural scenes, frequently of subjects such as Gypsies〔Romnichal or Irish Travellers〕 and horses. He was associated with the Newlyn School of painters, and while there met Florence Carter-Wood (1888–1914), a young horsewoman and painter. They married on 19 January 1912 but she tried to kill herself on their honeymoon and did so in 1914.〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography〕 Munnings remarried in 1920; his second wife was another horsewoman, Violet McBride. There were no children from either marriage. Although his second wife encouraged him to accept commissions from society figures, Munnings became best known for his equine painting: he often depicted horses involving in hunting and racing.
