About the Item

Victorian Landscape painting of Cattle watering at Dovedale in the Peak District England by one of the best known painters Alfred De Breanski Senior. Alfred de Breanski Snr British 1852-1928 “Highland Scene” Oil on Canvas mounted on stretchers, Signed and Framed. Alfred de Breanski Senior’s love affair with the Scottish and Welsh landscape meant that this most talented and accomplished painter left behind work of great intensity and passion. An almost obsessive preoccupation with the mountainous terrain, meant that de Breanski worked through again and again the quality of light as it fell on water, the slatey, scrubby texture of mountainsides, and the interplay of sky and weather. This painting is a fine and very typical example of Alfred de Breanski’s style – the star of the show here is the landscape, and the painting is about de Breanski striving to capture the enormity of it, to convey the atmosphere of it. Like Turner before him, Alfred de Breanski Snr is also known for his dramatic sunsets and skyscapes. He lived for much of his life in South London and painted many views along the Thames. De Breanski made his debut at the Royal Academy in 1872, where he exhibited until 1918. His work was also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Cambrian Academy and the New Watercolour Society. In 1880 he became a Freeman of the City of London.  His many patrons included Sir James Lemon and the Bishop of Peterborough.  Breanski’s work is represented in several museums at home and abroad, including Southampton Art Gallery, the Laing Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne and the Sydney Museum.

Cattle Watering in a Landscape - British 19th century art Victorian oil painting
By Samuel Bough
Located in London, GB
This lovely British Victorian landscape oil painting is attributed to noted artist Sam Bough. It was painted circa 1855 after Bough had moved to Hamilton Lanarkshire in Scotland to focus on painting landscapes along side fellow artist Alexander Frazer. The composition is several cattle watering in a stream under the boughs of an ancient tree. There is superb impasto, for example on the clouds and this is a charming 19th century oil painting. Provenance. London estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 29 inches by 16 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt Victorian frame, 36 inches by 23 inches framed and in good condition. Samuel Bough RSA (1822–1878) was an English-born landscape painter who spent much of his career working in Scotland. He was born the third of five children in Abbey Street, Carlisle in northern England, the son of James Bough (1794-1845), a shoemaker, and Lucy Walker, a cook. He was raised in relative poverty, but with a keen encouragement in the arts. He was self-taught but mixed with local artists such as Richard Harrington and George Sheffield, and was strongly influenced by the work of Turner. After an unsuccessful attempt to live as an artist in Carlisle he obtained a job and as a theatre scenery painter in Manchester in 1845, later also working in Glasgow in the same role. Encouraged by Daniel Macnee to take up landscape painting he moved to Hamilton from 1851-4 and worked there with Alexander Fraser. In 1854 he moved to Port Glasgow to work on his technique of painting ships and harbours. His paintings were noted for their sensitivity to atmosphere and light, were often of cloudy shorelines and busy harbours. He also began supplementing his income by illustrating books, before moving to Edinburgh in 1855. On coming to Edinburgh he lived in a terraced house at 5 Malta Terrace in the Stockbridge area of the city. Following Turner's example, he became a skilful painter of seaports. He was buried in Dean Cemetery Edinburgh on 23 November 1878. The grave bears a bronze medallion of his head by William Brodie...
