Dinan, Brittany clock tower watercolour attr Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding

About the Item

Attributed to Antony Vandyke Copley Fielding (1787 - 1855) Dinan Tour de l’Horloge (Dinan Clock Tower) Watercolour 28 x 21 cm A spirited watercolour of Dinan, Brittany. Dinan's famous clock tower looks over a French street scene: men, women, and children weave through the town's half-timbered houses, shops, and ateliers. The characterful mediaeval stonework and architecture of the town are paramount, and the artist adds a bright blue hue to his depiction of Dinan's roofs. Dinan is a walled medieval Breton town and commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of northwestern France. Enclosed by nearly three kilometres of ramparts, the town and its 14th-century castle proudly overlook the Rance river. Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding, commonly called Copley Fielding, was an English painter famous for his watercolour landscapes. At an early age Fielding became a pupil of John Varley. In 1810 he became an associate exhibitor in the Old Watercolour Society (later known as the Royal Society of Watercolours), in 1813 a full member, and in 1831 the Society's President. In 1824 he won a gold medal at the Paris Salon, alongside Richard Parkes Bonington and John Constable. Examples of his work are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum and other major museums in Britain.

  • Louis Osman FRIBA Pavilion architectural design
    By Louis Osman
    Located in London, GB
    Louis Osman was an English artist, architect, goldsmith, silversmith and medallist. He is notable for the gold coronet he designed and made for the investiture in 1969 of Charles, Prince of Wales. We have acquired a large archive of Osman's works form his daughter; to see the other Osman works available, please scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Louis Osman (1914 - 1996) A Pavilion in a Private Park Pen, ink and wash 67 x 100 cm Provenance: the family of the artist. Signed lower right. Osman was as much an artist as an architect. This is likely a portfolio piece from his time studying at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and is as such a piece of architectural history as well as a beautiful Osman design. Osman was awarded a First Class degree and the Donaldson Medal of the RIBA (for the best result in his year group) by the Bartlett, and then went on to the Slade School of Art. He subsequently trained with Sir Albert Richardson – we also have several Richardson works in our collection. After the war, Osman busied himself as an architect. His work included contributions to Westminster Abbey, and Lincoln, Exeter, Ely, and Lichfield Cathedrals, Staunton Harold Church in Ashby de la Zouch for the National Trust, and of course his folly: the Grade I listed Elizabethan manor house, Canons Ashby in Northamptonshire, now a National Trust property. At Canons Ashby he established a workshop and had a team of silversmiths and goldsmiths working for him. In 1976 he made the gold enamelled coffin...
