About the Item
This early 20th-century oil painting by British artist David Bates (1840-1921) depicts a rural view in Capel Curig, North Wales. Bates was an accomplished landscape painter who often returned to this area.
At the heart of sublime Snowdonia, Capel Curig has attracted hordes of artists throughout the decades and continues to do so. Bates adored North Wales, returning time and time again to work directly from nature amid tranquil pastures and breathtaking vistas. His style was naturalistic with an emphasis on simply capturing what he saw without embellishment. As we see here, his semi-loose brushwork enabled him to work efficiently before the conditions changed.
The sheep are little more than a tumble of wool, yet our eye translates his description. Indeed, some of the passages are broadly impressionistic.
Bates exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, New Watercolour Society and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. He’s represented in numerous public collections including at Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum, Wolverhampton Art Gallery, and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, among others.
Signed/dated in the lower right and held within a later frame.

David Bates b.1840
David Bates was an English landscape artist who painted in oils and watercolour. He was born in Cambridge, and from 1855 worked as a porcelain painter at the Royal Worcester porcelain works in Worcester - where he came to specialise in painting flowers. He left his employment there in 1880 to become a full-time professional painter. Bates was an "open-air" rural landscape artist, painting in the Midlands, Scotland and Wales, and abroad in Switzerland and Egypt. His work shows the influence of Benjamin Williams Leader, Joseph Thors and Samuel Henry Baker, and Bates is associated in style with the Birmingham School of artists. Bates exhibited many works at the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery, Royal Society of British Artists and the New Watercolour Society in London, and at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. His works are currently on display in Liverpool museum, Worcester City Museum, and several other art galleries.
