Cuthbert Crossley Signed Original Early 20th Century Watercolour Painting Richmond View, Yorkshire. English Landscape

1900 - 1920
Description

Type of artwork: An Original Vintage Watercolour Painting

Surface: Paper

Artist and signature: Signed by Cuthbert Crossley (1883-1960)

Painter, printmaker and designer, notable for landscapes and architectural subjects, sometimes employing unusual means. He was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, where he early showed artistic gifts. Studied advanced applied design at the local School of Art, winning a King’s Prize. Crossley was a member of the School of Art Sketching Society and a founder-member, around 1907, of Halifax Arts and Crafts Society. Soon after World War I Crossley became a designer for John Crossley & Sons, carpet makers, at the Dean Clough works, but by the early 1920s had become a full-time artist. He drew for the Halifax Courier; in 1928 completed etchings of old Halifax, including the three gates of the Piece Hall; and in 1933 illustrated T W Hanson’s Old Inns of Halifax.

Showed in Yorkshire and at RA, RI, RSA, RBA, Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and at the Paris Salon. Bankfield Museum in Halifax and public galleries in Leeds and Newcastle upon Tyne hold Crossley’s work, which could sometimes show a Cubist influence. Moved from Halifax soon after World War II to St Ives, Cornwall, where his wife shortly, and he later, died. In 1962 there was a Crossley Memorial Exhibition at Bankfield, with a further show there in 1973.

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

British watercolour landscapes of the early 20th century often feature painterly brushwork, muted natural palettes, and atmospheric depictions of the rural countryside, strongly influenced by regional topography and traditional plein air techniques.

Artists typically executed these works using water-soluble pigments applied to heavy cotton rag paper or card, often framed behind protective glass with archival backing mounts to prevent humidity damage.

Authentic pieces generally display period-appropriate paper aging, gentle tonal fading or foxing, hand-written signatures or monograms in pencil or ink, and original framing elements.

Hang landscape artwork as a focal point above a mantelpiece or console table, or integrate it into a curated gallery wall alongside modern art for an eclectic, layered visual scheme.

Display watercolours away from direct sunlight and high humidity, utilizing UV-filtering glass and acid-free mounts to prevent pigment fading, paper discolouration, and deterioration.
