Oil on Canvas
Up for sale is a large and impressive antique oil painting depicting a lake and mountainous landscape with a large castle placed at the back of the lake upon a large rock. This oil painting on canvas is absolutely beautiful and considering its age is in good condition with just one patch on the reverse. This painting is from London as noted by the rubber stamp on the reverse and dates to the early to mid 1800's. Unfortunately this painting is unsigned but clearly was executed by a very talented hand.
The large gold wood frame measures 41.5 x 29 inches while the canvas measures 36 x 24 inches. The detail is beautiful and the use of color is very appealing to the eye. When hung on the wall it will attract any eye that passes and will hold your attention as you take in the detail. Their is craquelure across the composition as well as surface grime which could use a good clean making the colors much brighter and vivid.
The artist is unknown but it very well could be from a good listed and collected artist. This painting is truly a magnificent antique landscape that found its way across the Atlantic from England and has an unknown story to tell.
