Coastal Landscape Oil Painting by Peter Brannan 1926-1994

1940 - 1960
Description

A great oil on board depicting a coastal scene by the artist Peter Brannan 1926-1994. A wonderful work painted in a post-impressionist manner depicting a choppy sea with figures on a small pier and a busy port in the background, which is most likely in Lincolnshire. The work is in excellent condition, signed and dated 1959. Peter Brannan (1926–1994) was a painter, draughtsman, printmaker and teacher, born in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. He studied at Grimsby School of Art, then Leicester College of Art. He taught mainly in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Brannan was elected RBA in 1960 and was president of Lincolnshire and South Humberside Artists. He showed in exhibitions at The Royal Academy, New England Art Club, and elsewhere. Brannan had a series of solo shows with The Trafford Gallery, one at The Usher Gallery, Lincoln, 1978, and a retrospective at The Goldmark Gallery, Uppingham, in 1995. The Usher Gallery, Grundy House Museum in Blackpool and Lincolnshire Education Committee hold his work. Brannan admired and was influenced by the work of French Post-Impressionists, also Cotman and Chardin. He lived in Welbourn, Lincolnshire. This is a great example of Brannan’s work depicting the post war industrial landscape against the dynamism of the natural world. The piece is framed in the original painted frame; it also has an exhibition label with the title: ‘The harbour’ and a label for the original owner.

This mid-century modern British oil painting by Peter Brannan depicts a coastal harbour scene with a choppy sea, a wooden pier, and ships on the horizon, rendered in a post-impressionist manner with thick impasto texture. Painted in 1959, the artwork uses a palette of grey and blue tones to capture the post-war industrial landscape against the dynamism of the natural water. The original decorative frame is gilded with an intricate carved pattern and fitted with an inner pale liner moulding. It bears an exhibition label titled "The harbour" on the reverse. Measuring 64 cm high, 74.5 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, the framed canvas suits placement above a sideboard in a living room, dining room, or hallway to bring a coastal retreat atmosphere to a domestic interior today.

FAQs

Mid-century British coastal landscapes often feature muted colour palettes, textured impasto application, and atmospheric depictions of British harbours, coastlines, and industrial maritime structures.

Twentieth-century artists typically painted with oil pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, framed in moulded timber or gilded wood frames with linen slip inserts.

Authentic pieces feature visible hand-applied brushstrokes or palette knife textures, genuine age-related surface oxidation, and an original artist signature on the canvas front or reverse.

Position the framed painting centrally above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or console table to create a focal point, balancing cool nautical tones with neutral or warm natural materials.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoid hanging in direct sunlight or humid environments, and consult a professional conservator for surface cleaning or varnish restoration.
