About the Item

This 32" x 32.75" x 3" oil on canvas painting is by Scottish artist, Norman Harper. This landscape painting depicts a serene mountain valley with a body of water at its center. The composition features towering mountains on both sides that frame a dramatic vista leading to snow-capped peaks in the distance, their surfaces rendered in rich earth tones of russet, ochre, and deep browns with touches of blue-gray in the shadowed areas. The perfectly still lake serves as the painting's focal point, creating mirror-like reflections of the surrounding mountains and the warm, golden sky above, which suggests either dawn or dusk lighting. The foreground shows rocky terrain and sparse vegetation along the lake's shore. The artist has employed a warm palette dominated by golden and amber tones in the sky that gradually cool to deeper blues and purples in the mountain shadows, creating atmospheric perspective that enhances the sense of depth and scale. The painting is housed in an elaborate gilt frame with ornate Baroque-style carved decorations. The overall technique demonstrates skilled brushwork in the tradition of European landscape painting, with particular attention to the effects of light on mountain surfaces and water. Norman Richard Harper was born at Rosyth, Perth, Scotland on 23 November 1918, son of Joseph Harper (10 October 1892-1964) and his wife Elsie Louisa (19 July 1895-1993).
