Alfred de Bréanski Snr, RBA, British 1852-1928- The River Teith; and The Hills of Na Garr; oils on canvas, each signed 'Alfred de Bréanski' (lower right and lower left), each further signed and titled on the reverse, each 40.8 x 61 cm., a pair (2). Provenance: with The Cooling Galleries, London.; where purchased in April 1952. Note: De Breanski Senior was celebrated for his resplendent views of the Welsh and Scottish Highlands, which were often, as in the present works, bathed in a flood of golden light, with water, cattle or sheep, and a solitary figure. He had great affection for the Highlands and, perhaps more successfully than any other artist, caught the atmospheric influences of the undulating landscapes there. Born in London, he made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872 and continued to exhibit there until 1918. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Cambrian Academy. His many patrons included the Bishop of Peterborough, who purchased the first picture he exhibited at the Royal Academy, entitled ‘Evening: Softly falls the even light’. 品相报告: Please refer to department for condition report
