Lewis Creighton Art

British, 1918-1996

Lewis Creighton was born in Yorkshire in 1918. He grew up in the small village of Appleton-le-Moors, situated on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park. While little is known about his childhood, it can be assumed that these surroundings significantly influenced his artistic inspiration and interpretation in later life. Creighton went on to serve in World War II as a spitfire pilot, taking part in the famous Battle of Britain. He later became a full-time artist. Creighton is a plein air landscape artist. His paintings demonstrate an innate talent for capturing the raw beauty of moorland. His technical use of light and shadow provides simultaneous clarity and complexity, while his almost impasto style of painting gives his work depth and texture. His work has been collected by devoted local and international collectors, and can also be found in the public collection of the Scarborough Art Gallery, Scarborough. He was a philosopher, astronomer, pilot and musician. He lived in Appleton-le-Moors, England.

Fabbriche di Careggine - 19th Century Oil Painting Ancient Ruins Tuscany Italy

By Edmund John Niemann

Located in Gerrards Cross, GB

‘Fabbriche di Careggine’ by Edmund John Niemann (1813-1876). Fabbriche di Careggine is the name of a Italian ghost village that today lies beneath Vagli di Sotto, a man-made lake in Tuscany. Prior to its flooding in 1953 the village was home to a community of subsistence farmers who raised sheep and Garfagnana goats.

Academy Fine Paintings only offers artwork for sale in the finest condition it can be for its age having been professionally cleaned, conserved, and re-varnished. It is not uncommon for paintings by one member of famous family of artists to be mistakenly attributed to a relative; a picture by “the Elder” is erroneously credited as being by “the Younger” and the work of one brother is confused with another, and so on.

Country Cottage

By Abraham Hulk the Younger

Located in Hillsborough, NC

Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), and George Vincent (1796-1832). These artists painted in the Dutch style, though both are British. Each has had experience with Dutch masters that influence their work. George Vincent’s work is perhaps even closer to this than Hulk’s. Vincent paints the trees and skies with the warm hues of light infused on the work. Here, the sky has blue but also a khaki or tan shade, roughed into the blue and white. It is an unusual color in skies, yet Vincent shows us the light through clouds casting a darker shade. The trees are varied greens but also have yellowed leaves, as in autumn. Presented in a period decorative gilt frame, the painting is of a cottage in a woodland with cattle by a pond, a little black dog and man and a woman standing by. In the distance is a glimpse of a river and grasses, framed by trees and an overcast sky. Hulk is renowned for his treatment of the changing season from summer to autumn, and the golden leaves and fading greens in this painting suggest this changing time of year. Hulk is the son of a well known Dutch maritime...
