Sir Albert Richardson
Antwerp, Cathedral of Our Lady, watercolour by Sir Albert Richardson PRA

1956

About the Item

Sir Albert Richardson PRA Architectural Study of the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp Watercolour 33 x 20 cm Signed and dated 1963. Sir Albert Edward Richardson (1880–1964) was a distinguished British architect, teacher, and historian, known for his deep reverence for classical design principles and his pivotal contributions to architecture during the 20th century. He was a prolific figure whose work and writings championed traditional architectural forms amidst the rise of modernism. Sir Albert Richardson's involvement with Antwerp is less well-documented and less prolific than his contributions in other areas, such as Dieppe or his architectural work in Britain. However, as in the other cities, he remained captivated by the architecture of Antwerp and produced numerous studies, including this watercolour of the Cathedral of Our Lady, during his time there.

A Fishing Boat at Sea, Late Mid-Century Gouache on Paper
Located in Cotignac, FR
French gouache on paper of a boat travelling the seas. The work is unsigned but dated 22/11/70. Presented in simple gilt frame with handcut mount. A really engaging and powerful painting. The artist has managed to capture the swell of the sea, the movement of the boat listing gently to one side, the slightly rusty hull, the moody sky filled with all the seagulls following behind, which suggests it might be a fishing boat. They have used a limited but strong colour palette, blues, blacks and greys and then just to highlight and catch the eye a splash of green to represent the starboard or right bow light.
