Owen Bowen "Driving the Cows" 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.

"Driving the Cows" is a fine early example of the artist's work. It is an oil painting on canvas measuring 14"x 21" and is signed lower right. It is in good original condition and is framed giving an overall size of 21"x 28". On the back is the original inscription with the title of the work "Driving the Cows".

FAQs

British Impressionist pastoral painting emerged in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, blending plein air field studies with expressive impasto brushwork. These works focus on traditional rural working life, agricultural motifs, and the changing effects of natural light across the British landscape.

Artists during this period typically painted with oil pigments ground in natural drying oils, applied onto stretched cotton or flax linen canvases. Sturdy wooden stretchers provided canvas tension, while varied brush and palette knife applications created rich textured surfaces.

Authentic period landscapes feature consistent historical canvas weave patterns, age-appropriate craquelure across thick paint layers, and genuine artist signatures. Examining the reverse side for stretcher construction style, canvas aging, and gallery labels also helps verify origin.

A classic oil painting works effectively as a focal point mounted above a mantelpiece or credenza. Placing traditional artwork alongside clean-lined modern furniture creates an engaging visual contrast between contemporary layout and classic fine art.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, radiator heat, and rooms with high humidity fluctuations to prevent paint cracking or canvas slackening. Remove surface dust gently using a soft, dry natural-bristle brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions.
