19th Century Original Scottish Loch Painting in the style of Alexander Nasmyth

Circa 1860s

About the Item

Mid 19th Century Original Oil Painting of Fishing on Scottish Loch in the Style of Alexander Nasmyth Gorgeous 19th Century landscape painting of a Scottish loch with fisherman and castle ruins in the style of Alexander Nasmyth (Scottish, 1758 - 1840). This painting features the rough-hewned nature of Scotland's landscape while juxtaposing the peacefulness of a fisherman casting his line into the loch. Adding interest is the castle ruins on the cliff's edge with a sailboat beneath. There is something new to see with each viewing of this picture. Signed: Illegible monogram lower left corner. (See image) Framed: Presented in rustic giltwood frame of the period. Condition: Good Canvas size: 18"H x 24"W. Framed Size: 22"H x 28"W x 3"D Alexander Nasmyth was a painter, illustrator, landscape gardener and engineer. Alexander Nasmyth's style appears to have been molded principally on that of Claude Lorrain in arrangement, color and mood, and on Jacob van Ruysdael in the handling of water, trees and foreground details. Rather than paint directly what he saw, Nasmyth would generally follow prevalent Picturesque theories as propounded by William Gilpin, first searching out the finest view and then editing or improving it to achieve a harmonious balance.
