About the Item
This superb Scottish Impressionist townscape oil painting is by noted Slade School trained artist Sir Harry Jefferson Barnes. Originally from Sheffield Barnes was very involved with the Glasgow art scene and became Director of the Glasgow School of Art until his retirement in 1980. Painted circa 1950, this composition is of the west end of Glasgow, looking across the river Kelvin from a high vantage point. In the foreground are vibrant trees and a grassy bank down to the river. The immediate buildings give way to a sea of grey roof tops and spires below a blustery sky. A really atmospheric painting that perfectly captures the feel of the West End of Glasgow and is an excellent example of Barnes' work.

Richmond Bridge London Landscape - British 1970
s art cityscape oil painting
Located in Hagley, England
This lovely city landscape oil painting is by noted British artist Dennis Gilbert. Painted in 1970 from an elevated perspective, the composition is of Richmond Bridge, spanning the River Thames. The large building on the right of the bridge in the foreground is now the Pitcher and Piano pub. Numerous figures can be seen going about their daily lives in the sunshine. Beyond that the Thames flows under the bridge with several boats and rowers and a surprisingly green and tree populated London sprawls on in the background. This is a charming detailed painting of a grand old bridge and its surrounding making London look very appealing.
