Impressive 19th Century Marine Oil Painting on Canvas – Gustave De Breanski

19th century
Description

In line with a recent promotion, this item has been reduced in price from £2450 to £1800.

Gustave De BREANSKI (fl. 1856-98): An impressive 19th Century Marine Oil Painting on canvas mounted in original heavy giltwood and gesso frame.

The painting depicts a harbour scene (a note verso indicates “Near Emsworth, Sussex”) with fishing boats and houses.

Condition: The condition overall is very good. A sticker verso indicates the painting was restored in 1983. The same year it would appear to have been exhibited at a Gallery in Winchester. It looks like it may have been relined at that point. Paint is in excellent condition, colours are still vibrant and there is no cracking. With c.42 years of dust buildup and soiling since it’s restoration, it would inevitably benefit from a modest clean. But it is ready to hang ‘as is’. The frame is substantial and heavy. Again it is in pretty good condition. A few minor chips, but nothing major missing or damaged. Chain link hanging loops.

Signed to the lower left corner. (See image)

Dimensions: 125 x 90 cm (including frame)

Dated: c.1870-80.

About the artist: Gustave de Breanski (c.1856-98) was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes; Brother Alfred de Breanski. Like all the Breanski family, he painted landscapes, highland and river scenes, but he made more of a speciality of coastal scenes, often with fishing boats. His style is much broader and more impressionistic than Alfred.

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century British marine art often depicts coastal topography, working harbour vessels, and maritime trades with atmospheric realism, reflecting the periods focus on naval heritage and maritime economy.

Artists during this period typically applied hand-mixed oil pigments onto stretched flax or linen canvas, framing the completed work in gilded wood or composition gesso frames.

Authentic works display natural craquelure patterns across the paint surface, age-consistent oxidisation on the wooden stretcher bars, period signatures, and layered gesso moulding on the frame.

Position the framed painting as a focal point above a mantelpiece or wooden sideboard, using surrounding neutral walls and contemporary furniture to create a balanced contrast between traditional art and modern decor.

Display the canvas away from direct sunlight, dampness, and heat sources. Dust the frame gently with a soft dry brush and avoid using water or commercial solvents directly on the paint surface.
