Peter van Breda
Sunset on the Thames, London

About the Item

Image dimensions: 50cm x 100cm / 19¾ inches x 39½ inches Framed dimensions: 65.5cm x 115cm This beautiful original oil painting by Peter van Breda depicts sunset on the Thames in London. Peter’s chosen method is to work directly from the subject, en plein air, and he draws much of his inspiration from the immediacy of the process. He works at speed, and to dynamic effect, to capture an effect of light and atmosphere before it changes. Light reflecting on water and the bridges of London that cross the River Thames have always been of foremost interest to Peter in his painting. He first came to us in the City at Gladwell Co where he charmed the gallery with his scenes of St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, amongst others. Peter van Breda is one of Britain's leading en plein air painters. Dedicated to working outdoors, Peter's enthusiasm for painting is driven by his excitement at capturing the light, mood and atmosphere of a scene on canvas. Light reflecting on water and the bridges of London that cross the River Thames have always been of foremost interest to Peter in his painting. He first came to us in the City at Gladwell Co where he charmed the gallery with his scenes of St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, amongst others. Peter's mesmerising impressionistic landscapes of London, Venice and Paris have since amassed a large following of dedicated collectors who delight in his record of these cities as they know it, in all weathers and at all times of day.
