Edmund Bristow
A bay hunter in a landscape, a view of Windsor castle beyond

About the Item

Edmund Bristow (1787-1876) A bay hunter in a landscape, Windsor castle beyond Signed with initials lower left Oil on canvas Canvas Size 22 1/2 x 27 1/2 in Framed Size 27 x 32 in Provenance Sale, Sotheby's New York, 16th November 1983, Lot 120; With Arthur Ackermann & Sons, London; The Collection of Charlie Watts. Edmund Bristow (1787–1876) was an English painter best known for his detailed and lifelike depictions of horses, farm animals, and rural scenes. Born in Eton, Berkshire, he showed an early talent for art and was largely self-taught. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of animal behavior, he developed a distinctive style that captured the charm of English country life. Bristow’s work soon caught the attention of wealthy patrons, including the Duke of Clarence (who later became King William IV) and other members of the aristocracy. Despite this recognition, he remained a quiet and somewhat reclusive figure, preferring to work on his own terms. He was known for refusing to sell many of his paintings or setting prices that were far lower than their true value, simply because he had no interest in wealth or fame. Although Bristow never sought the limelight, his work remains a valuable record of 19th-century rural England. Today, he is remembered as a talented and independent artist whose love of animals and the countryside shines through in every painting he created.
