Frederic Gordon Roe was a passionate art collector and connoisseur of British landscape paintings. His extensive collection spanned various periods and styles, showcasing the beauty of different regions in England. One of his prized possessions was "Brinkburn Priory, Northumberland, " painted around 1830 by JMW Turner. This stunning artwork captured the ethereal ruins of the priory against a dramatic sky, highlighting Turner's mastery of light and atmosphere. Another gem in Roe's collection was George Sidney Shepherd's "St. Albans" from 1809, which depicted the picturesque town with its charming architecture and idyllic countryside. Roe also had an appreciation for rustic scenes, as seen in Patrick Nasmyth's "A Woodmans Cottage" from 1820. The painting showcased a quaint cottage nestled amidst lush greenery, evoking a sense of tranquility and simplicity. His love for maritime themes led him to acquire Peter Monamy's "Men of War, " a captivating depiction of naval vessels during the early 18th century. The painting exuded power and grandeur while capturing the essence of naval warfare at that time. David Cox the elder's "Crossing the Sands, Ulverston" transported viewers to an atmospheric coastal scene where figures traversed treacherous sands under moody skies. It demonstrated Cox's ability to capture nature’s transient beauty. Thomas Rowlandson’s c18th-century masterpiece titled "Tarr Point (Torpoint, Plymouth)" offered a humorous glimpse into daily life near Plymouth Harbor through lively characters engaging in various activities along the shorelines. Roe appreciated historical portraits too; Thomas Cockson’s portrayal of Lord Howard Effingham from around 1600 showcased his regal presence and noble demeanor with intricate attention to detail. John Varley I captured St Alkmunds Church in Shrewsbury beautifully in his work from 1801 - displaying architectural elegance against serene surroundings.
