I have listed many paintings on the Bid or Buy promotional sales lately and this is one of my favourites. It has to be seen to be appreciated. I have not been able to find particulars about the artist, but he obviously is (or was) a master of his craft. The painting reminds me strongly of a work by Edward Roworth. Apart from the obvious quality of the artwork the painting is beautifully composed, the colour use is excellent and it shows a mastery of use of light and shade and depth. I assume that the artist is South African, because I bought this painting as part of a collection of great South African artworks and the scene appears South African, but the artist could also be from elsewhere in Africa. This painting would certainly enhance a collection of landscapes by South African masters. |
