The Trossachs, Scotland
early 20th century

About the Item

Landscape painting of The Trossachs, Scottish Highlands, 20th century is after renowned landscape artist Alfred De Breanski, Jnr, (1877-1955). As in this painting, De Breanski established a reputation for his distinctive vivid greens and color in impressionistic style within realism of his subject. This mountain scene with lake and watering cattle demonstrates the oeuvre of this artist, and also his father Alfred de Breanski Sr. This is a particularly beautiful landscape painting of Scotland, in a favorite natural region by Perthshire. 'The Trossachs' shows fine brushstrokes in the clouds, and area of raised paint over the ground. Light is captured on misty hillsides, and reflected in the water. De Breanski studied at St Martins School of Art, England, but had the benefit of his father, his mother and his Uncle who were all successful artists of their time, and their work continues to be highly sought after for the detail and light captured in plein art painting. De Breanski,, like his father, exhibited in the Royal Academy and Royal Society of British Artists and was a successful and well-regarded artist of his time. This painting is recognizable as The Trossachs, with a signature that resembles that of Alfred de Breanski, Jnr more than his father. We invite you to examine it closely in the photos. The frame and canvas are of the period, early to mid 20th century. The Trossachs canvas is nearly 20" high and 29.5' wide, that, combined with the gilt frame and lining is 28.5" high and 38.5" wide. There are imperfections over the frame, and an area of minor damage to the frame, as photographed. The painting itself is presented in excellent condition. The provenance is not proven, so this painting is offered at a price well below what would be expected for a fine work by Alfred de Breanski, Jnr. Further investigation may settle the issue, and Saltire Gallerie is open to further research that may result in a change of value. This work of art presents beautifully, and is ready to be hung on your wall! Acquired and imported by Saltire Gallerie.
