Description

Born in Heptonstall in 1848, Lester Sutcliffe was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes. He painted frequently in Whitby, where he lived for many years, capturing scenes of fisher-folk going about their work against misty backdrops from which the town softly emerged. Sutcliffe exhibited with the Newlyn artists later in his career, and married the flower painter Elizabeth Trevor. He also spent twelve years designing and painting stage sets in Liverpool and Birmingham. A keen traveller, he studied painting in Italy and France and exhibited widely, in Birmingham, Manchester, London (Royal Academy, Royal College of Art, Royal Society of British Artists) and Liverpool (Walker Art Gallery). His work can be found in public collections in Leeds and Whitby. Sutcliffe died in Leeds in 1930.

The present picture "A Sunlit Orchard, Shaw Lane, Headingley" Leeds is an oil on panel measuring 14"x 18". It is framed giving an overall size of 20"x 24". On the back is a nice old label with the title and an old receipt.

FAQs

Impressionist landscape painting is an art movement characterized by visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, and ordinary subject matter such as nature and rural scenes.

Traditional oil paintings are created using pigments suspended in a drying oil, most commonly linseed oil, applied to a stretched canvas, wooden panel, or linen support.

Authentic antique oil paintings are identified by examining the canvas weave, stretcher frame construction, pigment ageing characteristics, craquelure patterns, and signature analysis under magnification.

An oil painting can be styled by pairing it with a complementary traditional or contemporary frame, hanging it at eye level on a neutral wall, and providing directional picture lighting to highlight the texture.

Oil paintings should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature and humidity fluctuations. They require gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush and should be professionally cleaned by a conservator when necessary.
