Description from the seller
Alfred William Hunt
(1830 - 1896)
Landscape study
Signed and dated 1852
On sturdy, handmade rag paper.
On the reverse: Plant study.
26 x 36 cm, with mat
Alfred William Hunt was the son of the landscape painter Andrew Hunt (1790–1861), under whom he also received his first instruction. After he had already studied at the University of Oxford, he decided at the age of 25 to pursue painting.
His landscapes and seascapes, largely drawn from the coastal regions of England and Scotland, are marked by deep poetic feeling, a grand, realistic conception, and especially masterful in aerial perspective, water, and trees; the foreground is sometimes treated in a fleeting manner.
In 1864, he was elected to the Old Water Colour Society. By 1870 he had created hundreds of oil paintings and watercolors.
Works by Alfred William Hunt are in numerous museums and large private collections.
The watercolor offered here comes from the estate of a German collector in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria.
Shipping is carried out, well packed and insured, with tracking via Correos España.
