About the Item

Benjamin Barker of Bath (1776–1838) Landscape with cattle Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1810 178 x 266 cm / 203 x 297 cm framed This very large impressive landscape by this important historical artist is, in addition this painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1810. Sketches to this painting are held in the V&A and tie up with sketches by Gainsborough of a similar composition. Benjamin Barker, the younger brother of Thomas Barker, worked in Bath after the family settled there in 1783. He showed in the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Society of Watercolourists between 1800 and 1831. Many of his watercolours are in the Museum of South Kensington, and Theodore Fielding has reproduced many of his watercolours in aquatint in his 1824 volume ‘English Landscape Scenery. At the height of his success, Barker was incorporated into many important collections, and hung alongside the likes of Wilson, Gainsborough and Turner. Benjamin West regarded him as a better, more poetic painter than his brother. His watercolours are soft in colour and he makes a great use of umber. His pupils included H.V. Lansdowne.

    By Jules Pierre van Biesbroeck
    Located in Paris, FR
    Cloudy landscape. Oil sketch on cardboard. Unsigned. This work will be recorded in the catalogue raisonné of the work of the artist currently in preparation. Jules Van Biesbroeck was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy).

His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement...
