About the Item
Alfred de Breanski Snr
British, (1852-1928)
The Head of Loch Lubnaig
Oil on canvas, signed & transcribed verso
Image size: 23.5 inches x 35.5 inches

A stunning Highland landscape painting of a sunset over Loch Lubnaig by Alfred de Breanski. The painting is set at the head of the loch bathed in the glow of the setting sun with a dramatic mountainous landscape beyond. To the right, a figure can be seen herding cattle. Loch Lubnaig is a small freshwater loch near Callander in the Scottish Highlands, situated between Ben Ledi and Benvane to the south west and Ben Vorlic to the north east. The loch takes its name from the Gaelic word meaning crooked and is now part of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park which was established in 2002. Another view of Loch Lubnaig painted by him is held by the Southampton City Art Gallery.
Alfred de Breanski was a landscape painter who was born in the St Pancras area of London, the eldest son of Leopold de Breanski, a language professor and his wife Eugenie who were both from France. His brother Gustave and his sister Julie were also talented artists. The family settled in Greenwich from where Breanski began his artistic career as a landscape painter and would go on frequent visits to the scenic areas of Britain and Wales.
His work was highly accomplished for his age and he started exhibiting his paintings at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1869 and also at provincial fine art exhibitions including those held at St Andrews Hall, Norfolk in 1871. He made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872 where his works were favourably received, exhibiting there until 1918. He also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Royal Cambrian Academy, Bristol Fine Art Academy, Crystal Palace Galleries, Dudley Gallery, Arthur Tooth & Sons and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
On 2 July, 1873 he married the Welsh artist Annie Roberts at Llantysilio, whom he met on one of his painting trips. Together they had seven children and two of his sons, Alfred Fontville de Breanski (1877- 1957) and Arthur de Breanski also became artists. From 1873, he lived in Lewisham at Llantysilio House and then 6, Lime Villas until 1879 when the family moved to Hedsor View in Cookham, Berkshire. By the late 1880’s Breanski had moved back to the capital, eventually returning to the Greenwich area where he kept a studio at his home in Luton Place.
Although Breanski lived most of his life in London, he travelled around the country painting dramatic views, particularly of the Scottish Highlands and Wales as well as the Lake District, Thames valley and Kent. His works were highly praised by art critics and he enjoyed considerable success during his lifetime, allowing him to become a property owner. He was elected member of the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1884 and became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1890. A special exhibition of his work was held by Frost and Reed in 1897. He died in Dartford in 1928.
He is regarded as one of England’s most accomplished landscape painters and many examples of his work are held museums and galleries including the Ferens Art Gallery, Glasgow Museum, Grosvenor Museum, Hartlepool Museum, Laing Art Gallery, Middlesborough Institute of Modern Art, Paisley Museum, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery, Sheffield Museum, Southampton City Art Gallery and Torre Abbey Museum.

Alfred de Breanski Sr.
Widely regarded as one of England’s most accomplished landscape artists, British painter Alfred de Breanski Sr. is known by collectors for his realistic depictions of the rugged, isolated beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Welsh mountains.
Born in 1852 in Greenwich, England, de Breanksi grew up in an artistic family. His elder brother was the noted seascape painter Gustave de Breanski and his younger sister Julie trained as an artist.
Many of de Breanksi’s paintings feature animals such as sheep and cattle, which he painted grazing along the grassy banks of the River Thames or in the undulating fields of Wales and Scotland. He was influenced by the likes of renowned British painter John Constable, making similar use of texture, light and color in his landscape paintings.
De Breanski debuted his works at the Royal Academy in London in 1872, where he continued to exhibit until 1918. He also showcased at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Cambrian Academy in Wales.
In 1873, de Breanski married Welsh painter Annie Roberts, and together they had seven children. Two of their children — Alfred de Breanski Jr. and Arthur de Breanski — would follow their parents’ footsteps and become artists. In 1880, de Breanksi became a Freeman of the City of London, and in 1928, he died in London.
Today, de Breanski’s paintings can be seen in museums and galleries throughout Britain, including at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, the Southampton City Art Gallery and the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in Brighton and Hove.

19th Century Scottish landscape oil painting of Highland cattle at Glen Goil
By William Watson
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Watson Jnr
British, (1847-1921)
Up Glen Goil, West Highlands
Oil on canvas, signed & dated 1892, further inscribed verso
Image size: 23.5 inches x 35.5 inches
Size including frame: 36.25 inches x 48.25 inches
This highly atmospheric and well executed painting by William Watson Jnr depicts Highland Cattle watering at Glen Goil. Glen Goil is a valley area of Argyll and Bute in the West Highlands. It is situated at the junction of Hell’s Glen and Gleann Mor and has the river Goil flowing through. Located around 2 miles from Lochgoilhead, it is well known as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Watson made several trips to the Highlands and produced a number of paintings of the locality, many of which included highland cattle such as this fine example. Another painting by him of Glen Goil is held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
William Watson was born in Islington in 1847, the son of the London miniature painter William John Watson (1810-1871) and his wife Caroline (née Butcher). His brothers Charles Watson (1837-1900) and Robert Watson (1855-1921) were also artists. His father seems to have travelled around and after spending time in Brighton, the family moved to Bransford Road in Worcester during the early part of the 1860’s.
As well as being taught by his father, Watson received his early training in the studio of Sir Francis Grant PRA (1803-1878). He later became a pupil of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (1802-1873) and Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). Both Landseer and Bonheur had a great influence on his work and he began specialising in scenes of cattle and sheep. By 1866 he had become a full time artist and began exhibiting at the Royal Society of British Artists.
Perhaps to take advantage of the inspiring scenery, Watson moved to Birkenhead, Cheshire where in 1871 he met and married Eleanor Davies who was from Caernarvonshire. Four of their children Sidney Watson (1881-1931), Caroline Ellen Watson (1871-1947), William Robert Charles Watson (1873-1928) and Walter James Watson...
