Oil on canvas
A tempestuous stretch of rapids races through the Snowdon mountains of Wales in this majestic landscape by Alfred de Bréanski, Sr., entitled Mount Snowden, After the Rain. His keen eye and ability to depict the dynamic, innate beauty of land upon canvas has made de Bréanski the most beloved landscape artist in Britain and abroad.
A highly successful and gifted artist, de Bréanski ranks among the finest landscape painters of the Victorian era. He has garnered considerable praise and recognition for his Scottish and Welsh landscapes, particularly river and mountain scenes such as this composition. The Snowdon mountain is renowned for its grandeur and diversity of rare flora and wildlife. The artist demonstrates his immense talent, using a subtle play of light on the land and water to create a sense of tranquility, even as the waters of the river rage and swell after the rainfall.
A favorite of Queen Victoria, de Bréanski exhibited his works at the Royal Academy from 1872 to 1918 and at the Royal Society of British Artists at Suffolk Street where more than 50 of his paintings were shown.
