Henry W Henley
Henry W Henley, Misty Upland Landscape With Stream

c. 1870

About the Item

This late 19th-century oil painting by British artist Henry W Henley (fl.1871-1895) depicts an upland landscape with a winding stream. Henry W Henley was a notable landscape painter known predominantly for his works in oil. His often dramatic upland views frequently captured the majestic scenery of North Wales and the Scottish Highlands. Welsh rivers, such as the picturesque banks of the Conwy, were a particular inspiration. As were the misty lochs and fens of Inverness-shire. Here, the view feels reminiscent of the rugged Highlands where the mists clutch the mountains and the streams dart rapidly across exposed stone. Signed in the lower right and held within a later frame. Provenance: Private collection, England.

  • Scottish Sea Coast of Iona
    By Duncan Cameron
    Located in Hillsborough, NC
    Exhibition-sized painting of Iona Island coast by celebrated Scottish artist Duncan Cameron (1837-1916), this is a large and expansive 19th century landscape oil painting on canvas. Renowned for his landscape paintings, this work captures the natural light on the sea, sand and rocks with splashes of rich color under a big sky. Iona off the west coast of Scotland, has attracted artists for for its dramatic scenery and northern light, including the Scottish Colourists who favored the fresh pure light. The cliffs and coastal rocks are reminiscent of works by Samuel Peploe and Duncan Fergusson of this fabled island. In 1876 Cameron won a Gold Medal for landscape painting, at the Crystal Palace exhibition. The year after this painting (circa 1870s) Cameron began exhibiting in the Royal Academy, Society of British Artists, and Royal Scottish Academy, showing his work consistently from 1880. Other venues for exhibiting his work include the Glasgow Institute, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Manchester City Art Gallery, and the Royal Hibernian Academy. His work is sold today in Fine Art Galleries in the UK and in Saltire Gallerie, USA. His landscape paintings are widely acclaimed, and this landscape painting of considerable size and detail is a fine example. Born in Perthshire, Cameron studied in Dundee and in South Kensington, London. He later died in Edinburgh. The highest auction sale of his work reached nearly 20,000 GBP. He was widely acclaimed as a landscape artist, painting Scottish farmlands and haystacks, coastal scenes and lochs. In this work the colors of the sea change from blue to green with white crests of waves. The rocks have splashes of red, rust and orange, and the beach has red and green in the sand. Water laps at the edge of beach and rock. A sailboat is a focal point, with distant sailboats on the water, and a rowboat by the central sailboat. A hill rises behind the beach painted...
