English 19th Century Landscape Painting by William Widgery of Lydford Gorge

About the Item

An English oil on canvas landscape painting by William Widgery (1822–1893) from the late 19th century depicting Lydford Gorge, in carved frame. Created in England during the second half of the 19th century, this vertical landscape depicts Lydford Gorge in Devon, the deepest gorge in England's South West with a spectacular waterfall. In 1880, Widgery built a house and studio on the edge of Lydford where he lived for 10 years. Our eye is immediately drawn to the luscious view marked in its center by an opening on the sky leading to a rustic arching bridge. Showcasing brown, green and blue tones, the painting is set inside a carved frame with scrolling motifs. With its skillful execution and earthy colors, this 19th century English landscape painting will bring a touch of undeniable elegance to any wall.

    Located in Atlanta, GA
    An English late 19th century oil painting of a dog sitting in an armchair with red cushion in giltwood frame. This exquisite animal painting features a short hair caramel colored dog, majestically sitting in a chair, in a manner reminiscent of Velasquez' depiction of Pope Innocent X. A red cushion, whose deep tones contrast beautifully with the dog's coat, assures us that the dog is very comfortable! Dog portraits became popular during the 18th century among the hunting aristocracy, and the establishment of The Kennel Club in 1873, further encouraged their popularity. This portrait is a perfect example of this trend. Set inside a lovely giltwood frame, this vertical format English dog portrait...
