Painting of the Week - Bertram Priestman
Cows in a Landscape - River Wharfe Yorkshire
This lovely British Edwardian Impressionist landscape oil painting is by noted artist Bertram Priestman. Painted in 1901 the location is the River Wharfe a river in Yorkshire, England originating within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. For much of its middle course it is the county boundary between West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire. Its valley is known as Wharfedale. Priestman has depicted a number of different coloured cows in the foreground on the edge of the river. Beyond is the climbing riverbank and trees on the other side of the water beneath a blustery sky. The impressionistic brushwork, heavy impasto and vibrant colours are just superb. This is a fantastic example of Priestman's work and a lovely British Edwardian Impressionistic oil painting.
