About the Item

This lovely British Edwardian Impressionist landscape oil painting is by noted Slade School artist Bertram Priestman. Painted in 1901 the location is the River Wharfe a river in Yorkshire, England originating within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For much of its middle course it is the county boundary between West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. Its valley is known as Wharfedale. Priestman has depicted a number of different coloured cows in the foreground on the edge of the river. Beyond is the climbing riverbank and trees on the other side of the water beneath a blustery sky. The impressionistic brushwork, heavy impasto and vibrant colours are just superb. This is a fantastic example of Priestman's work and a lovely British Edwardian Impressionistic oil painting. Signed and dated 1901 lower right. Provenance. Exhibited 1902 Tableau achete a l'Exposition Trienale des Beaux Arts. No 960. Dolman and Son London Yorkshire estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 32 inches by 28 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt Barbizon frame, 40 inches by 36 inches, in good condition. Bertram Priestman (1868-1951) was born into a wealthy Bradford manufacturing family. In his youth, he was much influenced by his older half brother Arnold Priestman, who had been a pupil of Henry La Thangue. After a tour of Italy in 1886, Priestman attended Bradford Technical College followed, in 1888, by the Slade School of Art in London. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1889 and at the New English Art Club from 1894. In his paintings of landscapes and coastal scenes Priestman combined the English landscape tradition with techniques influenced by the French Impressionists such as a vigorous handling of paint and use of a bright luminous palette. His most notable pupil was Edward Seago. Priestman’s pictures are in many provincial galleries in Britain, including Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as a large number of overseas holdings. He won a series of international medals and was elected RA, 1923.
