Benjamin Williams Leader
'Wading in the River' 19th century landscape painting of figures, greenery

About the Item

'Wading in the River' by Benjamin Williams Leader. A 19th century landscape painting of figures and baby wading in a river. Surrounded by lush greenery. This highly detailed painting by this notorious 19th century artist is a brilliant example of his work and one that would look amazing in any collection. Benjamin Williams Leader (1831-1923) was one of the most successful and prolific British landscape painters of the latter half of the 19th century. He began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1857, and continued until 1922. Leader concentrated on landscape scenes in the Midlands, Scotland and, in particular, North Wales. In a memoir he explained that his 'favourite subjects have always been home scenes - the banks of the Severn or the Thames, the outskirts of a village, commons bordered with whitewashed cottages reflected in reedy pools, the pine woods of Surrey, and the streams and wooded hills of North Wales. Wales has ever had great attractions for me, and many pictures have I painted of Bettws-y-Coed and Capel Curig.'
