James Francis Danby
View from Richmond Bridge, 19th Century Oil Dawn Landscape

About the Item

James Francis Danby 1816 – 1875 View from Richmond Bridge Oil on canvas, signed lower left Image size: 11 x 14 inches (28 x 35.5 cm) Framed Danby was the second son of the celebrated landscape painter Francis Danby (1793-1861). Unlike his younger brother Thomas, James followed his father's style closely. He specialised in views of the Thames and often painted at specific times of day or night so that he could display his virtuosity in rendering effects of light. He was a constant exhibitor in the Royal Academy from 1842 until his death, and also at the British Institution and at the Society of British Artists, of which he was a member. He practised his profession mainly in London but seems to have visited Ireland, as several of his exhibited works were of Irish landscapes. This scene depicts dawn with the crescent moon still visible and Corporation Island in the distance, now fully wooded and home to a colony of herons.

  • Moonlight Scene with Fishermen
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas Image size: 23 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (60 x 47 cm) Original frame This moonlit view features many of the usual features of Sebastian Pether's work: a painterly river, mountain scenery and the incorporation of classical gothic ruins in an attractive though artificial style. The ruins in the foreground and city in the background have been painstakingly depicted in meticulous detail. On the bank in the foreground, and out on the river itself, we see three night fishermen silhouetted against the calm waters. The artist has cleverly balanced the light emanating from the moon, and the reflection of this light glistening on the river surface below, to create the mysterious atmosphere of the moonlit evening. Indeed, he has skilfully employed the strong use of chiaroscuro effects of light and shade in this painting so that the eye is drawn to the full moon as it illuminates the sky. It is undeniably a work of Romanticism, a style that was popular around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Artist Sebastian Pether was an English landscape-painter. He was the eldest son of Abraham Pether...
