Abraham Pether Art

British, 1756-1812
Like his near contemporary Joseph Wright (1734-1797), Abraham Pether was one of the finest early English landscape painters of chiaroscuro; the bold contrasting of light and shade used to convey drama and three-dimensional depth in a painting. Between 1773 and 1811 Abraham Pether exhibited at 61 paintings at the Royal Academy, 39 at the Free Society, 24 at the Society of Artists, and at the British Institution in London.
