Print on Art Paper

Print size: 34 x 44 cm / 13.5 x 17.5 inch

Lush greenery with flowering trees and shrubs laden with fruits gives this landscape a circular arrangement. Distant sunlight in the sky glistens the landscape with its streaks falling at strategic junctures. The flowering tree in the foreground is seen glowing with the streaks of sunlight, falling on its leaves, providing them a deep red appearance. With two vertical mountains rising on either sides of this composition, emphasis is attributed towards the distant background with a river flowing through the middle ground.

Thick foliage amalgamates with the natural surroundings of this landscape along with various architectural elements in the background. Towards the right, a ruined circular spire makes a subtle appearance on the summit of the mountain. The foreground portrays three men dressed in the traditional attire of countrymen with jackets and long boots. The headgears of these men have been portrayed with attention.

This academic style reflects Richard Wilson’s work according to the 1931 catalogue by Sir Evan Cotton. Being an admired
British landscape painter, Wilson worked in Britain and Italy, He has been described in the Welsh Academy Encyclopedia as
the “most distinguished painter Wales has ever produced and the first to appreciate the aesthetic possibilities of his country”.
