Charles Jones (b.1836)
Highland Cattle

1870

About the Item

Massive size, this six-foot long oil painting makes an impression! Professionally preserved, this masterful work looks as contemporary and detailed as the day it was completed in 1870 by an award-winning artist. Encased in bronzed metal, "Highland Cattle' appeals widely, working in contemporary office settings as well as traditional living rooms. Signed with the artist's distinctive monogram and dated '70 in red, this oil on canvas painting has no less than 17 cows, two dogs and a figure in a mountain landscape with an old stone bridge, and cottages on a hill. Award-winning artist, Charles Jones won the gold medal at the Crystal Palace exhibition in 1890 for his distinctive style depicting animals, particularly cows and sheep, in sweeping rural and mountain landscapes. Jones was born in Wales, but spent most of his career working in London. His paintings often depicted Scottish scenes as well as Welsh and English. Jones graduated from the Royal College of Art and became a successful artist, flourishing from 1860s to 1890s. His work is well represented in collections including the National Trust, National Library of Wales, National Museum in Wales, Art Museums and Art Galleries. This painting came from an estate of a family in England that later moved to British Columbia, Canada. It was imported by Saltire Gallerie in the USA and professionally restored. The painting is presented in a modern bronzed metal framing. It was shipped with an older gesso and wood frame that sustained damage. However, this 19th century painting presents very well in this simple bronze metal surrounding. Ideal for a commercial setting, this painting also works remarkably well in both traditional and contemporary room designs. Sold with the bronzed metal, the traditional frame may also be purchased with this painting. Please inquire if the traditional frame is preferred. This painting has been substantially restored and preserved over time with re-lining, a repair, and in-painting visible with UV light mostly in the right side of sky, some grasses and small areas of a couple cows, A layer of clear varnish covers the painting, giving the work shine and protection. Small aging and old blemishes are visible on close inspection under the varnish. Ready to hang, this large painting will stand out on any wall. Price INCLUDES US continental shipping to your door.
