Description
Sir Alfred East, RA, RI, PRBA, RPE,
British 1844-1913-
A Wooded landscape with a ruined castle;
pencil and watercolour on paper, 50 x 67 cm.
Provenance:
Lady East.
from whom purchased by Matthew B. Walker, 1 Park Crescent, Wolverhampton in 1918.
Private Collection, UK.
By descent.
Note:
East worked almost exclusively in the genre of landscape painting. He was a central member of the 19th-century artistic scene, exhibiting with Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854-1931) and W. Ayerst Ingram (1855-1913). He also served as the President of the Royal Society of British Artists from 1906 until his death. This evocative vista, consisting of a romantic ruined castle undisturbed by human presence, exhibits his skill as a watercolourist, with the muted blue and greens of the trees suggesting a hazy early morning light. Many of East's landscapes display the influence of the Barbizon School of late 19th-century France, spearheaded by figures such as Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867) and Charles-Francois Daubigny (1817-1878).
