Henry Bright, In The Welsh Hills
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This mid-19th-century oil painting by British artist Henry Bright (1810-1873) depicts a panoramic view with cottage, pond, figure and peaks. Nestled within the formidable Welsh hills stands a humble cottage of stone and thatch. Warmed by a comforting fire, it’s a welcome retreat amid unpredictable weather. A woman, wrapped in a heavy woollen shawl, ambles between grassy banks with the tinted peaks beyond elegantly wrapped in cool mists. On the left, the gable end of a dilapidated barn is illuminated. While in the foreground, several boulders stand adjacent to a pond. Born in Saxmundham, Suffolk, Henry Bright’s formative years were spent pursuing a career as a chemist. His father, Jerome, a clockmaker, encouraged the young man to find a trade - dissuading him from artistic pursuits. Following an apprenticeship, he worked as a dispenser for Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, employing every spare moment to draw from nature. There’s a fascinating character to the Suffolk countryside, which compels those with an eye for beauty to capture its majesty. Tranquil rivers, shimmering streams, leafy woods, rustic mills and vast irrepressible skies - coastal and inland, have inspired artists for generations. Gainsborough and Constable were smitten and Bright followed suit. His precocious skill for drawing was soon noticed by his peers, who urged him to ditch the apothecary in favour of the brush. His decision to do so led him to Norfolk and into the welcoming arms of a provincial art movement known as the Norwich School. Influenced by masters of the Dutch Golden Age, such as Meindert Lubbertszoon Hobbema (1638-1709) and Jacob van Ruisdael (1628/9-1682), its members were inspired by the natural environment. He was trained by Alfred Stannard (1806-1889), John Berney Crome...

19th Century seascape oil painting of Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man
By William Edward Webb
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
William Edward Webb British, (1862-1903) Douglas Harbour, Isle of Man Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 21.5 inches x 37.5 inches Size including frame: 33 inches x 49 inches A busy quayside painting by William Edward Webb of Douglas Harbour on the Isle of man. Fishermen in boats can be seen preparing to head ashore as other figures make their way along the quayside. William Edward Webb was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in 1862 to William Benjamin Webb and Ellen Butler. His father was a printer and an artist and it is highly likely he received tuition from him. Following the death of his mother, his father remarried and moved the family to Manchester sometime after 1871. By the 1880’s, Webb had started working as an artist and later set up a studio at 30 Exchange Buildings in Manchester. He began exhibiting at the Manchester City Art Gallery from 1890, where he showed more than 60 paintings during his lifetime. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy and Walker Art Gallery Liverpool from 1892. He married Clara Foster in 1899 and the couple lived at 1 Sylvan Grove, Chorlton Upon Medlock in South Manchester with their daughter Florrie. He became friends with the artist Walter Emsley (1860-1938) who also lived in Manchester. Although he spent the rest of his life in Manchester, Webb travelled throughout the UK painting coastal and marine scenes around the main ports and harbours. He spent a great deal of time in the Isle of Mann painting numerous scenes along the coast including views of Peel and Douglas Harbour, subjects he frequently returned to. Webb painted in a highly distinctive style; loose and informal but which manages to retain the sense of perspective. He struggled with ill health and depression throughout his life which sadly led to his suicide 9 November, 1903. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at The Old Customs House and Old Solent House in Lymington, which brought a new found interest in his work. His paintings are now highly sought after and are represented in many collections and Museums including the Astley Hall...

19th century English River landscape with man fishing by the riverside
By David Bates b.1840
Located in Woodbury, CT
David Bates 19th century English River landscape, with fisherman by the river side. David Bates was born in Cambridgeshire. He spent most of his early life in Worcestershire, where he became apprenticed at the Royal Worcester Porcelain Works. A painter in both oils and watercolours, Bates visited North Africa, before returning to paint landscapes mostly of Wales and Scotland. He shows the influence of Benjamin Williams Leader (1831-1923), Joseph Thors and S.H. Baker. David Bates also made small oil sketches of hedges and plants, which were usually inscribed on the reverse. The artist’s works display considerable technical virtuosity, ranging from the serene landscape, to the uneven swagger of his later works, which were noticeably less colourful. Although Bates was more than capable of producing refined landscapes, he was equably as capable of painting detailed...
