Alfred de Breanski Jnr. Art

British, 1877-1955
Alfred de Breanski, Jr is the son of renowned plein art landscape artist Alfred de Breanski, Sr, and began his career painting the Highlands of Scotland and scenes in England and Wales. Unlike the romantic realism of his father, Breanski, Jr ventured into a style of his own, influenced by the changing impressionistic and post impressionistic art of his time. His colors are more vibrant, and he chooses seascapes as well as landscapes with impressionistic pastels and light with often realistic foreground subjects. Alfred de Breanski, Jr, also known as Alfred Fontville de Breanski, studied at St Martin's School of Art, with his father and his Uncle Gustav, and painter of seascapes. His mother, Annie Roberts, was also a painter. De Breanski, Jnr spent time in France, where he developed his own style of landscape art distinctive from his father. Alfred Sr and his brother Gustav were sons of Polish immigrants into Britain, and established themselves as well known and sought after fine artists. They were known for travelling to the Highlands of Scotland, as well as Wales and the woodlands north of London to find their ideal landscape, and to paint in the open air, to capture the fleeting light in realistic detail. Alfred de Breanski, Jr followed this tradition, with more vivid greens, and with a flair all his own.

This antique painting is in very good condition, commensurate with its age. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. Part of the famous Breanski family of artists, Alfred Fontville de Breanski is known for his skilled and colorful landscapes and English garden scenes. He was born on 20th August 1877 at Lewisham, London. He was one of seven children born to the prolific British artist, Alfred De Breanski (1852-1928) and his wife Annie Roberts, also as artist. His uncle, Gustave de Breanski, was also an accomplished artist in his own right. Alfred learnt his craft from his parents, then studied at St. Martin’s School of Art under Cecil Rea, and later in Paris under Whistler. Alfred’s art emanated that of his father in subject matter and palette, though he developed a style which was less formal, and learnt to perfectly capture the light at different times of day. Breanski travelled and worked extensively throughout Scotland, Wales, the Lake District, Surrey, Sussex and Buckinghamshire. He is known to have also worked in France and Italy. His work is almost exclusively concerned with natural landscape and rustic scenes and his later work shows the influence of Impressionism. His style of painting lent itself to the early developments in poster design being pioneered by the Underground at the time. In 1915 Breanski produced a couple of posters encouraging travel to London for what was then known as the Underground Electric Railways Company. In doing so he positioned himself firmly in the modern movement of the early twentieth century, unifying so-called ‘high art’ with ‘commercial art’. This was very much in the spirit of the Parisian poster artists, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret. Breanski Jnr lived in various places in the South West before making his home at 11 Robert Street...

Pair of 19th century landscape oil paintings of the River Avon & Berwyn Valley
By John Bates Noel
Located in Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire
**PLEASE NOTE: EACH PAINTING INCLUDING THE FRAME MEASURES 19 INCHES X 23 INCHES** John Bates Noel British, (1870-1927) On the Avon & In the Berwin Valley Oil on canvas, pair, both signed, also signed & inscribed verso Image size: 12 inches x 16 inches (each) Size including frame: 19 inches x 23 inches (each) John Bates Noel was born John Noel Bates in Worcester in 1870. He was the son of the landscape artist David Bates (1840-1921) but later on changed his professional name to avoid confusion. The family lived in Worcestershire as well as in Birmingham and it was highly likely that he was encouraged and taught by his father as their subject matter and style bear similarities, although John’s compositions tend to be more fluid and looser. By the turn of the century Noel was living in Malvern where he also taught art. He specialised in painting the rugged landscapes in and around the West Midlands, Worcestershire and North Wales. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1893-1909 and at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists between 1892-1919. He also exhibited works at some of the major galleries of the time including the Manchester City Art Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. The building in the painting 'On the Avon' is believed to be that of St Margaret's Church at Wolston in Warwickshire. The structures at the front of the church appear to be thatched hay ricks, which are similar to ones seen in an old postcard of the church seen from the river Avon...

His father was a master butcher in Ticehurst and the family lived above the shop, which is still operates as a butchers today.

He married Louisa Anne Winterbottom on 11 April 1874, at Rye, Sussex and together they had 3 children. They lived in Hawkhurst, Kent before moving to Hackney, London in 1878. Whilst largely self- taught, Blinks would have learnt basic anatomy from working with his father, but he also spent time at Tattersalls canine and horse auctions...
