He subsequently received a commission in the 10th Scottish Rifles and saw active service in France. During the conflict he continued to paint, most notably a work depicting troops on the eve of the Battle of the Somme.[5] Painting careerGunn began as a landscape painter and traveled widely, exhibiting Paintings of Rome etc at the Fine Art Society in 1929.[6] During the 1920s, he increasingly concentrated on portrait painting and after 1929 he devoted himself exclusively to portraits.[7] In November 1939, Gunn offered his services to the War Artists' Advisory Committee and subsequently received three portrait commissions from them.[8] During WWII he lived with his family in Carsethorn, a seaside village on the Solway in Kirkcudbrightshire.

He also painted notable portraits of King George V, Agnes Catherine Maitland (now in Somerville College's dining hall), and also of Harold Macmillan, in his role as Chancellor of Oxford University.[3] He was elected President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1953, a post he held until his death. He was elected an associate member of the Royal Academy in 1953 and a full academician in 1961.[9] Gunn was knighted for services to painting in 1963.[10][13] An 80-page catalogue of his work which were exhibited at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh from December 1994 to February 1995, was published by the National Galleries of Scotland in 1994.[11] Family lifeGunn married Gwendoline Thorne in 1919 and they had three daughters. He divorced his first wife who ran off with Sir Arthur Whinney.[12] Gunn subsequently married Pauline Miller with whom he had a son and another daughter.[13] Pauline was the model for a number of his paintings, including his 1961 diploma submission to the Royal Academy.[14] Gunn died in London on 30 December 1964.[3] A Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul was held at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London in January 1965.
