Alfred Fontville De BREANSKI
He was born on 20th August 1877 at Lewisham, London, and died in 1957. He studied at St. Martin’s School of Art under Cecil Rea and later in Paris under Whistler.
He specialised in painting landscapes, highland scenes and some coastal views.
He came from a family of painters, being the son of Alfred de Breanski. His landscapes were in a style similar to his father’s, but rather more “painterly” and broader in their handling.
At some point he started using the names Alfred Fontville de Breanski, and signing his works A.F. de Breanski or A. Fontville. This led to some confusion but it is now accepted that these two names are the same person. He also painted flowers under the name Gustave Courtier.

Alfred de Breanski Jnr.
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.

Often bathed in a flood of golden light, these landscapes usually feature water and cattle or sheep on grassy banks; sometimes a solitary figure is seen the distance. Breanski belonged to the real stamp of those landscape painters who nimbly seized moments of the day. He had a great passion for the Highlands and perhaps more than any other, caught the atmospheric influences of the undulating landscape. Born in Greenwich...Category
