William Beattie-Brown
Cottage in the Lee

19th century

About the Item

William Beattie-Brown, RSA, (1831-1909) painted landscapes with great mastery of the elements, known for his rendering of rapids in waters and detailed foliage far in the distance. His work often has a tonal quality, before his time. 'Cottage in the Lee' is a croft-style home in an idyllic rural location in Scotland. Beattie-Brown was born outside Edinburgh in the town of Haddington, then his family moved to Edinburgh where he attended school in Leith, was apprenticed to a glass stainer, then entered the Trustee's Art Academy, and studied with other landscape artists, Sam Bough and Horatio McCullough. At age seventeen he exhibited a painting at the Royal Scottish Academy, and was represented in RSA annual exhibitions the rest of his life. Beattie-Brown is renowned for his technical excellence and tone. By layering hues of similar color into the detailed tree line and foliage far into the distance, he creates a tonal feeling well ahead of that trend. Beattie-Brown continued to exhibit in the London Royal Academy, and his work is well represented in collections across the UK, and the Scottish National Gallery. Cottage in the Lee has the long distance hues and detail for which Beattie-Brown is known, often painting in a tranquil natural setting. The painting has his characteristic rendering of white crests on rapidly moving water. Presented in very good condition, the painting is about 26" by 20" with the frame, and 17" by 12" canvas sight. The frame is probably newer and is in excellent condition. Bring nature and tranquility into your home.

  • Christian Berg, Pair of Goosander Birds On Ice Floes.
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...
