About the Item

Abraham Pether (1756-1812) 'Landscape near Chichester' and 'Drovers in a landscape' A pair, Oil on canvas One signed and inscribed 'Chichester' Canvas size - 16 x 20 5/8 in Framed size - 20 1/2 x 25 1/2 in Abraham Pether was born at Chichester, where he was a pupil of George Smith, one of the three brother landscape painters in the mid-18th century. He derived much of his early style from Smith, whose influence is discernible until the late 1790’s, but he also progressed his art by a careful observation of the romanticism of Richard Wilson RA.. He later travelled through the north of England and painted numerous views in Yorkshire. From at least 1784 he developed an increasing interest in the painting of crepuscular and night scenes, to the extent he was christened with the sobriquet “Moonlight Pether”. His son Sebastian (1790-1844) and grandson Henry (fl.1828-1865) continued the family tradition of nocturnal scenes, but neither approached him for quality of execution. His cousin was the distinguished engraver William Pether (1738-1821).
