St. Michael’s Mount - British 19th century art landscape oil painting Cornwall

circa 1880-1900

About the Item

A fine, large period watercolour which is attributed to John Linnell or one of his circle. It certainly is a stunning painting. The dappled light glowing through the trees and the fine blue wispy sky are skilfully portrayed. The sheep on the path and the gleaners gathering wheat are all typical subject matter for Linnell and the backdrop is St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall. The painting is unsigned and dates to circa 1880-1900. Provenance. Private purchase. Condition. Watercolour and gouache on paper, image size 30 inches by 25 inches approx. Excellent gallery condition. Housed in a fine 19th century frame behind glass 40 by 35 inches. In good condition. John Linnell (1792-1882) was an English landscape and portrait painter and engraver. Linnell was a naturalist and a rival to John Constable. He had a taste for Northern European art of the Renaissance, particularly Albrecht Dürer. He also associated with William Blake, to whom he introduced Samuel Palmer and others of the Ancients.
