About the Item

A beautiful, large landscape painting, oil on panel, by Scottish listed artist Joseph Milne. The river is the Tay, one of his favourites to paint and the view is from the foot of the tower on Binn Hill with the Fife hills given a little more majesty. This painting is a typical Scottish Impressionist painting with vibrant brushwork. It was painted circa 1900 and is in very good condition in its original frame from W Stewart of Perth. It has various labels verso. Milne exhibited extensively at The Royal Scottish Academy and The Royal Academy. This is a lovely example of an early twentieth century Scottish oil. Signed left. Provenance. R. Stewart Perth label verso. Condition. Oil on panel, image size 30 inches by 22 inches unframed, in fine gallery condition. Housed in an original Scottish frame 34 by 42 approx framed. In excellent condition. Joseph (Joe) Milne (1857-1911) was born in Edinburgh in 1857, the elder brother of the painter William Watt Milne (1869-1949) and the father of John Maclauchlan Milne (1886-1957) qv. He painted mainly in oils, but occasionally in watercolours, producing land and seascapes which were notable for their strong, bright tones. When working in watercolour, he made free use of bodycolour. Although he lived much of his life in Edinburgh, he worked for a time in Dundee and also in Ayrshire. He exhibited extensively at both the Royal Scottish Academy, from 1877 until 1902 (a total of 81 works) and the Glasgow Institute from 1880-1902 (45 works); he also had 7 works shown in London, at the RA between 1887 and 1908. Early titles often had a genre content. Favourite subjects were the coasts of Scotland and working rivers, particularly “The Silvery Tay”. Joseph Milne died in Edinburgh in 1911, at the age of 53.
