Owen Bowen "The First Primroses" Oil Painting

1900 - 1920
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.

"The First Primroses" is a good early example  of his work. Measuring 17"x 21" it is signed lower left and is dated 1917. It is framed in a good period frame giving an overall size of 24"x 28". On the back is a nice original label with the title of the painting and address of the painter.

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 impressionism combined atmospheric lighting and visible impasto brushwork with traditional regional scenery, depicting rural life and natural landscapes en plein air.

Artists typically used oil-based pigments bound with drying oils, applied onto stretched linen canvas, cotton duck, or solid wood panels.

Authentication involves inspecting period artist signatures, natural canvas age, genuine craquelure patterns, and period-appropriate stretcher construction.

Hang the artwork as a focal point above a fireplace or sideboard, pairing earthy oil tones with neutral wall palettes and warm accent lighting.

Dust gently using a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush, avoid direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, and consult a professional conservator for varnish removal or repairs.
