About the Item
This stunning Lakeland landscape (one of a pair) by the artist Charles Leslie (1839–1886) is an original oil-on-canvas painting that is over 100 years old.
Leslie was an English landscape painter during the Victorian era. Being from a family of painters and strongly influenced by his grandfather, Edward Williams, another successful landscape painter, Leslie learnt to paint during his formative years. He spent summers with his uncles where he would slave away painting landscape after landscape until he mastered his craft. He then went on to pioneer paintings of the Welsh moorlands and he has even displayed artworks at the highly prestigious Royal Academy.
In this beautiful Lakeland landscape scene, we can clearly see Leslie’s technical mastery of the outdoor world, come to life with his use of delicate brushwork and a muted colour palette.

Charles Leslie
Charles Leslie was a British landscape painter. He is recorded as having an address in Wimbledon, London. One of the better-known painters of the Scottish and Welsh moorland scenes, Leslie was one of the first painters of this subject in the Victorian tradition. He gave the landscape a much more commercial appeal with the focus being on balance, content and light. Leslie would cast warm or open skies over his landscapes with still waters. Leslie exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1856 to 1862 as well as at the British Institute, Suffolk Street and elsewhere. Titles at the Royal Academy include: “A Shower Passing the Welsh Hills”, “The Crags of Cader”, “Upper Leke” etc.
