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 Woodland" is an oil painting on canvas by Bowen measuring 20"x 12". It dates from about 1900 and is framed in a good quality gilt frame giving an overall size of 28"x 20". There is a nice old label on the back giving the title and other information about the artist.

FAQs

British landscape painting developed significantly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with artists focusing heavily on natural realism, tonal subtlety, and atmospheric depictions of forests and rural scenery.

Traditional oil paintings are typically created using linseed oil-based pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, often supported by wooden stretcher frames.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural craquelure, age-appropriate oxidation on the canvas reverse, traditional hand-wedged wooden stretchers, and pigment formulations consistent with historical periods.

Pairing a dark, moody landscape with minimalist modern framing or hanging it against a richly coloured accent wall creates a striking balance between historical depth and contemporary aesthetics.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, clean the surface gently with a dry, soft microfibre brush, and avoid using liquid solvents or chemical cleaners.
