Alfred Fontville De BREANSKI
He was born on 20th August 1877 at Lewisham, London, and died in 1957. He studied at St. Martin’s School of Art under Cecil Rea and later in Paris under Whistler.
He specialised in painting landscapes, highland scenes and some coastal views.
He came from a family of painters, being the son of Alfred de Breanski. His landscapes were in a style similar to his father’s, but rather more “painterly” and broader in their handling.
At some point he started using the names Alfred Fontville de Breanski, and signing his works A.F. de Breanski or A. Fontville. This led to some confusion but it is now accepted that these two names are the same person. He also painted flowers under the name Gustave Courtier.

Alfred de Breanski Jnr.
Alfred de Breanski, Jr is the son of renowned plein art landscape artist Alfred de Breanski, Sr, and began his career painting the Highlands of Scotland and scenes in England and Wales. Unlike the romantic realism of his father, Breanski, Jr ventured into a style of his own, influenced by the changing impressionistic and post impressionistic art of his time. His colors are more vibrant, and he chooses seascapes as well as landscapes with impressionistic pastels and light with often realistic foreground subjects. Alfred de Breanski, Jr, also known as Alfred Fontville de Breanski, studied at St Martin's School of Art, with his father and his Uncle Gustav, and painter of seascapes. His mother, Annie Roberts, was also a painter. De Breanski, Jnr spent time in France, where he developed his own style of landscape art distinctive from his father. Alfred Sr and his brother Gustav were sons of Polish immigrants into Britain, and established themselves as well known and sought after fine artists. They were known for travelling to the Highlands of Scotland, as well as Wales and the woodlands north of London to find their ideal landscape, and to paint in the open air, to capture the fleeting light in realistic detail. Alfred de Breanski, Jr followed this tradition, with more vivid greens, and with a flair all his own.

- Cattle Watering in a Landscape - British 19th century art Victorian oil paintingBy Samuel BoughLocated in London, GBThis lovely British Victorian landscape oil painting is attributed to noted artist Sam Bough. It was painted circa 1855 after Bough had moved to Hamilton Lanarkshire in Scotland to focus on painting landscapes along side fellow artist Alexander Frazer. The composition is several cattle watering in a stream under the boughs of an ancient tree. There is superb impasto, for example on the clouds and this is a charming 19th century oil painting. Provenance. London estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 29 inches by 16 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt Victorian frame, 36 inches by 23 inches framed and in good condition. Samuel Bough RSA (1822–1878) was an English-born landscape painter who spent much of his career working in Scotland. He was born the third of five children in Abbey Street, Carlisle in northern England, the son of James Bough (1794-1845), a shoemaker, and Lucy Walker, a cook. He was raised in relative poverty, but with a keen encouragement in the arts. He was self-taught but mixed with local artists such as Richard Harrington and George Sheffield, and was strongly influenced by the work of Turner. After an unsuccessful attempt to live as an artist in Carlisle he obtained a job and as a theatre scenery painter in Manchester in 1845, later also working in Glasgow in the same role. Encouraged by Daniel Macnee to take up landscape painting he moved to Hamilton from 1851-4 and worked there with Alexander Fraser. In 1854 he moved to Port Glasgow to work on his technique of painting ships and harbours. His paintings were noted for their sensitivity to atmosphere and light, were often of cloudy shorelines and busy harbours. He also began supplementing his income by illustrating books, before moving to Edinburgh in 1855. On coming to Edinburgh he lived in a terraced house at 5 Malta Terrace in the Stockbridge area of the city. Following Turner's example, he became a skilful painter of seaports. He was buried in Dean Cemetery Edinburgh on 23 November 1878. The grave bears a bronze medallion of his head by William Brodie...Category
