Description

A moonlight coastal landscape of large proportions by John Falconar Slater (British, 1857-1937). Signed lower right. Oil on canvas.

John Falconar Slater was Newcastle born and a master of the impressionist seascape. Whatever the weather the artist could be found in his oilskins painting seascapes, predominantly on the Tyneside coast. A newspaper article of 1898 dubbed him 'The Weatherproof Artist'.

This work depicts a shore line to the lower right with the water glistening in the moonlight. To the central left, there is a lone figure walking by a house with a single lit window. The whole scene is illuminated by a moonlit sky with atmospheric clouds. The work is housed in a gilt frame.

The work has some light craquelure in areas. Note the artist signature is clearer when viewed under a bright light with a loupe, but the distinctive 'S' of the 'Slater' is clearly evident to the naked eye. The frame has various knocks and scuffs but generally displays well.

A striking work of large proportions by one Britain's leading impressionists of the time.

Nineteenth-century coastal oil paintings often focus on atmospheric effects, moody palettes, and dramatic light capture, frequently depicting maritime scenes, coastal topography, and lunar illumination with textured brushwork.

These works typically utilise hand-woven canvas stretched over a wooden mortice-and-tenon stretcher frame, painted with traditional linseed oil-based pigments, and housed within hand-carved, gilded wooden frames.

Authentic period pieces exhibit age-appropriate craquelure in the paint layer, oxidised varnish under ultraviolet light, period-appropriate stretcher construction, and often handwritten artist signatures or gallery labels on the reverse.

An antique oil painting can serve as a focal point above a mantelpiece or console table, providing textural contrast and historical depth when paired with minimalist or contemporary furnishings.

Maintain stable ambient temperatures and relative humidity between 40-50 percent, keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning or varnish removal.
