Biography: Born in London, England, Raymond Yelland was three when his family moved to New Jersey, and he grew up in New York City. He was trained in art at the National Academy of Design, where he was the student of William Page, Lemuel Everett Wilmarth, and James R. Brevoort. He later studied in Paris with Luc Olivier Merson. After painting for a time in Gloucester Harbor, Yelland sailed to San Francisco in 1874 to take a teaching position in art at Mills College in Oakland. From 1877 to 1894, he taught at the California School of Design. He was appointed Director of the school in 1888. A beloved teacher, he was a decisive influence on a younger generation of California artists. Among the many who worked with him directly were Gottardo Piazzoni, Grace Carpenter Hudson, and James Everett Stuart. A master marine painter, Yelland's luminist work has been compared to that of Alfred Thompson Bricher. He is best known for his San Francisco area coastal scenes at sunset, but he produced Monterey views while visiting Jules Tavernier there in 1878, and he painted in Oregon in the summers of 1880 and 1881.
