About the Item
This lively composition by Harold Fletcher Trew captures the bustling atmosphere of a continental marketplace, painted with bold colour and expressive brushwork. The scene is structured around distinctive vernacular buildings with pitched roofs and towers, their geometric forms set against patches of sky and distant greenery. Figures animate the foreground, suggested in loose but purposeful strokes, evoking the movement and energy of townspeople gathered in the square.
Trew, who was trained at St. John’s Wood Art School and exhibited widely in England during the early to mid-20th century, was known for his architectural subjects, townscapes, and Continental scenes. In this work, he departs from his more tightly controlled style, embracing a freer, modernist approach. The vibrant palette—rich reds, violets, greens, and ochres—gives the painting an almost Fauvist vigour, while the simplified handling of figures and buildings reflects the influence of early 20th-century European art movements.
Presented in a gilt and painted frame that complements its lively tones, this painting demonstrates Trew’s versatility and his ability to translate the energy of everyday life into a vivid and enduring composition.
The painting came direct from the family of the artist and from his studio. Signed on the reverse.
