Description

Owen Bowen was born in Leeds in 1873. He was educated from an early age during evenings at Leeds School of Art before working as a pottery designer and lithography apprentice. In the early 20th century, Bowen travelled to Holland, where he painted maritime landscapes and windmill scenes. He went on to form what was later known as the Owen Bowen School of Art. Before his death at the age of 94 in 1967, Bowen exhibited his work regularly throughout England, showing at the Walker Gallery, the Royal Cambrian Academy and the R.A. His work is held in many private and public collections and his paintings are in great demand to this day.

"Pinks, Pansies and Geums" and "Roses" are a lovely pair of oil paintings by Owen Bowen. These are fine early examples dating from 1915, the period Bowen was painting his best work. Each measures 14" x 10" and is signed. They are in fine original gilt frames giving an overall size of 23"x 19" for each painting. Each is inscribed on the back with a title, and each also has a nice old label for "F. Beecroft, Bradford" on the back.

Antique oil paintings encompass diverse artistic movements from centuries past, typically characterised by hand-mixed pigments applied to canvas or wood panels, reflecting the prevailing aesthetics and cultural contexts of their creation eras.

Traditional works generally feature linen or cotton canvas stretched over wooden frames, or wooden panels, bound with linseed or walnut oil paints, and housed in hand-carved, gilded wooden frames.

Authenticity is determined by examining canvas ageing, craquelure patterns in the paint layer, stretcher frame construction, artist signatures, and the materials and joinery of the accompanying frame.

Antique paintings add depth and character to contemporary spaces when contrasted against neutral walls, paired with minimalist furnishings, or incorporated into a balanced gallery wall arrangement.

Preservation requires stable indoor humidity levels, avoidance of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, occasional professional cleaning, and handling the canvas with clean hands while avoiding moisture.
