“Rough Seas Off the Yorkshire Coast” 1865 Oil on Canvas, by Ralph Reuben Stubbs

About the Item

A dramatic seascape by the talented 19th century English artist Ralph Reuben Stubbs (1825-1879), known for his landscape paintings depicting the natural and wild beauty of his native Yorkshire coast as well as local inland scenes, conveyed in expressive impressionistic brushwork. He was a self-taught artist, yet achieved success in his lifetime, his work even being accepted for exhibition at the Royal Academy, the ultimate mark of recognition for serious artists since the late 18th century. A charming synopsis of his life was written and published upon his death in 1879, and published in the Daily Gazette of Middlesbrough, Yorks., a copy of which I am happy to share. The painting is signed and dated 1865. In a 20th century Belgian made gilt wood frame. H: 43 ½ W: 55 ½ D: 2 ½

  • "Landscape With Sunlit Castle In Ruins" Oil Painting, Manner Of Sidney R. Percy
    Located in Free Union, VA
    A British oil on canvas landscape in the manner of, and possibly by, Sidney Richard Percy, (1821-1886), an English painter who specialized in dramatic British highland landscapes. Percy, né Williams, came from a successful family of painters, and he began to use the surname Percy around 1841 to differentiate himself from other members of the Williams family, becoming, himself, the most successful of the Williamses. Percy’s use of light is quite distinctive throughout his works; atmospheric yet conveyed with a striking lucidity. A sense of vast space, along with an absolute mastery of rocky mountain forms and surfaces are consistent throughout his oeuvre. This unsigned landscape...
