Painting of the Week - Bertram Priestman
Evening in Wharfedale 1917
This simply stunning British Impressionist landscape oil painting is by much respected artist Bertram Priestman. Painted in 1917, the composition is cattle watering in a river in the foreground at Wharfedale. The river's course is just visible through the trees at the base of a hill with the sun beginning to set beyond, drenching the sky and scene in the most beautiful light, reflected in the water. The brushwork and detail are absolutely superb. This is a fantastic painting and an excellent example of Priestman's work.
