About the Item
A luminous early landscape by John Gilbey Bowles, The Apple Orchard captures two apple trees in delicate white blossom, rendered in a loose, impressionist manner. Soft green tones dominate the canvas, conjuring the pastoral quietude of the Kent countryside in spring. Bowles’ expressive brushwork and refined sense of light place him firmly within the post-war British tradition of lyrical realism, with echoes of the Euston Road School and the English impressionist lineage.
Bowles trained at Camberwell School of Art in the early 1950s, where he studied under notable painters such as William Coldstream and Victor Pasmore. His practice was grounded in observation, yet always attuned to the formal innovations of mid-century painting. He exhibited widely in the UK from the 1950s through the 1980s and was known for his quiet yet evocative depictions of rural life, domestic interiors, and the natural landscape.
