Anthony Avery
British Impressionist Watercolor of Riverside Town with Cathedral Spires

About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Riverside Town with Cathedral Spires by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 11.25 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: In this evocative watercolour by British artist Anthony J. Avery, a quaint riverside town rests beneath the imposing silhouette of a grand cathedral with towering spires and intricate gothic architecture. The composition captures a peaceful blend of urban and architectural charm, with the cathedral’s towering presence providing a dramatic backdrop to the smaller homes clustered along the waterfront. The muted blues and grays of the cathedral contrast with the warm tones of the smaller buildings, their red-tiled roofs adding a touch of warmth to the scene. A market stall with a striped canopy and the calm reflections in the water contribute to the lively yet tranquil character of this piece. Avery’s delicate brushstrokes and subtle shading capture the ambient light and depth of the setting, creating an engaging balance between the majesty of the cathedral and the charm of everyday town life. This work is perfect for those who appreciate architectural subjects and the serene beauty of European riverside towns.
