About the Item
Samuel Henry Baker (British, 1824–1909)
Ullswater from Gowbarrow Park, Cumberland, late 19th century
Oil on canvas
In this sweeping view of Ullswater, nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Samuel Henry Baker renders the timeless beauty of the Cumbrian landscape with quiet reverence and masterful precision. The composition leads the eye down a sun-dappled path framed by oaks and wild bracken, toward a glimmering expanse of water cradled between rolling hills and misty peaks. A pair of figures—perhaps ramblers or locals—rest along the trail, dwarfed by the grandeur of nature.
Painted in the latter half of the 19th century, this work reflects the deep national pride in Britain’s natural scenery that emerged during the Victorian era. Artists like Baker sought to celebrate the countryside not only as a source of beauty, but as a moral and spiritual refuge from the noise of urban life. His style, rooted in the traditions of the Birmingham School and influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, is marked by a love of detail, botanical accuracy, and atmospheric harmony.
Gowbarrow Park, overlooking the second largest lake in the Lake District, was a favorite subject among Victorian artists and poets—including William Wordsworth, who famously penned Daffodils after a walk nearby. Baker’s painting captures the enduring allure of this place: not wild and dramatic, but gentle, enduring, and profoundly English.
The painting is framed in a classical English Swept style hand made frame.
The painting is inscribed on the reverse with the scene location and the artists signature.
