19th Century Winter Scene in North Wales Painting Pastel on Wood by Sibley
About the Item
Frederick T. Sibley (1837-1912)
Winter scene in North Wales
Measures: Pastel on wood, 122.5 x 81.5 cm
Frame 151.5 x 111 cm
Signed lower left "FT Sibley 1893"
The work in question depicts a bright winter landscape that is identified with the gentle valleys of the region of Wales, England. A snow-capped peak forms the backdrop for a stone bridge suspended between the rocks that make up the rugged British landscape. The painting is part of that pictorial current called Romanticism which starts from the nineteenth-century German cultural and philosophical climate thanks to authors such as Caspar David Friedrich, and then spread to England with William Turner and John Constable. Romantic art was based on the principle of the sublime, that is, in the relationship between man and nature, it was the second to prevail over the first, which could do nothing in front of its beauty, capable of giving rise to conflicting feelings of restlessness and mysticism in the human soul. The author of the painting is identified as Frederick T. Sibley (1837-1912), an English artist, who founded the Royal Cambrian Academy together with other artists at the end of the 19th century, the first British colony of artists. The association emerged from David Cox's summer stays at Betws-y-Coed between 1844 and 1856. The seven men who launched the Academy were all devotees of the colony of artists, many of whom originated in the North West of England from where Betws-y-Coed was easily accessible by train. In 1881 the Conwy Valley, in North Wales, was at the height of its fame as an academy welcoming a large number of professional and amateur artists. The prospect of seeing painters at work attracted a large number of visitors, as a result of which the seaside town of Llandudno emerged as a center for the sale of many of these works. Established in 1881 by Queen Victoria, the Royal Cambrian Academy is a center of artistic excellence in Wales, it aims to exhibit works by members of the Academy, promote quality emerging artists, organize historical exhibitions and provide a vibrant place for education. In 1887 Sibley was listed among the academics of the society and exhibited the painting Bridge and Fall at Nant Mill, which sold for £ 80 at RCA's annual exhibition, and in 1890 exhibited A Lonely Shore.
