Night Scene Oil Painting by Frank Hughes

1940 - 1960
Description

A fine and interesting oil on canvas night scene by Frank Edward Burnham Hughes 1905-1987. A truly exceptional piece of painting beautifully capturing a farmstead in almost complete darkness in a typically mid-century style. The painting is in excellent untouched condition and is ascribed to the artist on the reverse. Frank Hughes was born at St Pancras, London and studied at St Martin's School of Art. He was influential in the London art scene of the time and exhibited at The Royal Academy through the fifties, he was also a full member of The New English Art Club. This is a great example of his work and ability and is mounted in a modern frame. C.1950.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A nocturne painting captures scenes set in night, dusk, or atmospheric twilight lighting, a visual style popularised during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Traditional oil paintings consist of mineral or organic pigments bound with linseed oil on stretched linen or cotton canvas, secured into a solid timber frame.

Authentication relies on examining natural craquelure patterns across the paint surface, canvas aging on the reverse, timber stretcher construction, and verified artist signatures.

Position the painting above a clean-lined console table or sideboard, using a dedicated low-heat picture light to illuminate the subtle tonal details in the dark palette.

Keep artwork away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity, dusting the painted surface lightly with a soft, dry brush without applying liquid cleaners.
