Laiguelia - Coastal Beach Village on Italian Riviera Large Watercolor Painting
Located in Sevenoaks, GB
* No US duty or taxes to pay on this item *
A quite wonderful signed and dated 1959 large scale watercolour depicting the Riviera town of Laigueglia in Northern Italy.
This is a lively scene with sailor in a striped t-shirt bringing in his ropes, as a sun bather in swimming trunks chats with a figure holding a large pole, possibly a sand spike or fishing rod. Locals go about their business in the background and mamas hang their washing from balconies to dry.
The quality of this modernist work is superb throughout with fine detail and excellent rendering of the numerous figures and boats. Inscribed, signed and dated lower left.
Artist: R. T. Horley (British, 20th century)
Title: Laigueglia
Medium: Watercolour & wash over pencil
Size: 15.5 x 22.5 inches (39 x 57 cm) unframed
We can arrange framing to your specification if required
Laigueglia is a small coastal town situated along the Riviera di Ponente in the northern Italian coastal region of Liguria
Laigueglia is a town that has maintained a more peaceful aspect and atmosphere, typical of a classic Ligurian seaside village. In fact, together with Bordighera, it is one of the few remaining authentic towns in a western Ligurian strongly oriented towards tourism.
With its alleys, the squares, the lilac-pink tones of the houses gathered in the protective shade of the monumental church...

Mid 20th Century Belgium. Gent, a Morning Market
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Belgium. Gent Morning Market
by Leonard Machin Rowe (1880-1968)
signed front lower right, inscribed to the back
watercolour painting on artist's paper, unframed
Image 9.75 x 13.75 inches, sheet 11 x 15 inches
Charming painting by Leon. Rowe, dated on the back as June 1950. Inscribed to the back as a morning sketch in a market in Gent. It depicts a bustling market place, accessed though a stone archway. You can almost hear the clamour of people in this scene, it was clearly a very nice morning.
Belgium and Luxembourg were two of Rowe's favourite destinations for his painting trips overseas. Often incorporating figures into his work, his style is very similar to Thomas Morley's paintings of French and Belgian market town scenes.
Signed front lower right. To the back are his signature again, date and the inscription. This work forms part of a watercolour collection we currently hold by Rowe.
Known as Leon Rowe, the artist was born in central England...
