Alfred de Breanski Sr.
Highland Cattle watering at Dovedale, Peak District Victorian Landscape Oil

19th century

About the Item

Victorian Landscape painting of Cattle watering at Dovedale in the Peak District England by one of the best known painters Alfred De Breanski Senior. Alfred de Breanski Snr British 1852-1928 “Highland Scene” Oil on Canvas mounted on stretchers, Signed and Framed. Alfred de Breanski Senior’s love affair with the Scottish and Welsh landscape meant that this most talented and accomplished painter left behind work of great intensity and passion. An almost obsessive preoccupation with the mountainous terrain, meant that de Breanski worked through again and again the quality of light as it fell on water, the slatey, scrubby texture of mountainsides, and the interplay of sky and weather. This painting is a fine and very typical example of Alfred de Breanski’s style – the star of the show here is the landscape, and the painting is about de Breanski striving to capture the enormity of it, to convey the atmosphere of it. Like Turner before him, Alfred de Breanski Snr is also known for his dramatic sunsets and skyscapes. He lived for much of his life in South London and painted many views along the Thames. De Breanski made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872, where he exhibited until 1918. His work was also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Cambrian Academy and the New Watercolour Society. In 1880 he became a Freeman of the City of London.  His many patrons included Sir James Lemon and the Bishop of Peterborough.  Breanski’s work is represented in several museums at home and abroad, including Southampton Art Gallery, the Laing Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne and the Sydney Museum.
