Edmund Gill
Edmund Gill, Wonderful Victorian oil of the Falls of Clyde, waterfall, Scotland

1866

About the Item

An idyllic view of the Falls of Clyde in full spate in this gem of a painting. Specifically this is Corra Linn, the largest and most impressive of the four waterfalls with a fall of 84 ft. Painted by a master of the subject, demonstrated by the fact that the artist became known as Edmund "Waterfall" Gill. All in all, a very handsome piece. Edmund Gill (1820-1894) The Falls of Clyde, Corra Linn Signed and dated 1866, further inscribed on a label verso Oil on panel 10 x 7 inches without frame 13 x 11½ inches with the frame Provenance: Frost and Reed Gallery (label to the reverse) Edmund Marriner Gill (1820-1894) was an English landscape painter of considerable talent.

GIll lived in Ludlow and Hereford, however he travelled extensively across the UK capturing views of Wales and Scotland, particularly landscapes with waterfalls, hence his nickname "Waterfall Gill".

Pair of seascape oil paintings of fishing boats by a Dutch shore
By Pieter Cornelis Dommersen
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 18.5 INCHES X 22.5 INCHES** Pieter Cornelis Dommersen Dutch, (1833-1918) Goeser Veerhuis with Goes in the Distance & Elburg on the Zuiderzee Oil on panel, pair, both signed & dated 1904 with wax seals verso Image size: 11.5 inches x 15.5 inches (each) Size including frame: 18.5 inches x 22.5 inches (each) A wonderful pair of seascape paintings by Pieter Cornelis Dommersen. The first painting depicts the Goeser Veerhuis or Goes Ferry House on the left with the Dutch town of Goes in the distance. The ferry house was a popular landing stage for barges and fishing boats. Goes church, with its distinctive spire can be seen in the far distance. The second painting is of Elburg, a fishing port on the east shore of the Zuiderzee in the Dutch province of Gelderland. Dommersen often returned to these areas to paint when he travelled back to the Netherlands and these fine examples were most likely painted on one of these trips. Pieter Cornelis Dommersen was born Pieter Cornelis Dommershuizen or Dommerhershuisen on 6 December, 1833 in Utrecht, Holland. Little is known about his father and he appears to have been brought up solely by his mother Cornelia into an artistic family. His younger brother was the artist Cornelis Christian...
