The Scottish Highlands, Fine Traditional Landscape, Gilt Frame, Signed

c.1980s

About the Item

The Highlands By British artist, Andrew Grant Kurtis, Late 20th Century Signed by the artist on the lower left hand corner Oil painting on canvas, framed Framed size: 14.5 x 12 inches Wonderful depiction of the Scottish Highlands. This scenic landscape completely transports you to this blustery edge, although the water looks very still and peaceful, it will most likely be an energetic walk to get to this spot. The artist, Andrew Grant Kurtis has always shown a great love for the arts, and thus pursued formal education in the subject from an early age. He began his studies with a City and Guilds Diploma in industry before going on to study at the Technical College in London, where he obtained a Licentiateship to the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers. He then continued his education in Graphic Design and History of Art at the Central School of Art and Design, successfully completing a Bachelor of Design degree with honours. Still reaching higher, Andrew went on to complete his postgraduate studies, and in 1977, attained a Master of Arts. After his education, Andrew knew he wanted to develop his work in a more classical and traditional way. In the literal sense, he does this by carefully preparing his own pigments and mediums by hand, thus maintaining the science and craftmanship of the oil painting tradition. He then expertly weaves this unique ensemble of pure, graduating colours and rich tones to give his paintings a sense of solitude and tranquillity. No matter his subject, Andrew applies a disciplined depth and thoroughness to each of his paintings. Over the years, Andrew has produced work within a range of genres, including equestrian, architectural, marine and landscapes. However, it was the landscapes that ultimately captured Andrew’s passion. He is particularly drawn to the mountainous regions of Scotland, Wales and the Lake District, and travels there extensively to gain reference and inspiration for his work. Andrew’s unique style has brought him great success as an artist. His work has been specially commissioned by publishers for greeting cards and prints, and can be found in leading galleries and private collections around the world. Condition report: This painting and frame are both in a very pleasing condition.

  • The Amphitheatre of Loch Lomond from the Water Mill at Ross-Ben Lomond Scotland
    Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    The Amphitheatre of Loch Lomond from the Water Mill at Ross-Ben Lomond by John Wilson Ewbank, RSA (1799-1847) signed and inscribed with title verso oil on millboard, 24.5 x 35cms, plus frame provenance: private collection, Scottish borders Very fine and beautiful antique oil painting of this important view in Scotland, depicting the ever beautiful Loch Lomond. The painting is by the very well listed John Wilson Ewbank (1799-1847). John Wilson Ewbank (English, 4 May 1799–28 November 1847), was an English-born landscape and marine painter who was renowned for his naturalistic landscapes and seascapes of the Scottish borders and the North East coast of England. Ewbank was born at Darlington on 4 May 1799, the son of Michael Ewbank, an innkeeper. He was adopted as a child by a wealthy uncle who lived at Wycliffe, on the banks of the River Tees, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Intended for the Roman Catholic priesthood, he was sent to Ushaw College, from which he absconded. In 1813 Ewbank was apprenticed to Thomas Coulson, an ornamental painter in Newcastle. In around 1816 he moved with Coulson to Edinburgh, where he was also taught by Alexander Nasmyth (1758-1840), a popular painter amongst the Scottish and English nobility. Ewbank found work both as a painter and a teacher. He was nominated in 1830 one of the foundation members of the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1833 he is listed as living at 7 Union Street on the eastern fringe of the New Town in Edinburgh. Sadly after the death of his wife he descended into depression and was stripped of his status as an academician in 1838 and died in poverty of typhus in Sunderland in 1847. Ewbank’s calm seascapes were strongly influenced by 17th Century Dutch artists, particularly Willem and Adriaen Van de Velde. Although his best work dates from his early years, Ewbank became a popular and wealthy art teacher in the capital where made a reputation with cabinet pictures of banks of rivers, coast scenes, and marine subjects. Ewbank’s sketches from nature were especially admired, and a series of 51 drawings of Edinburgh by him were engraved by W. H. Lizars for James Browne's Picturesque Views of Edinburgh (1825). He was also noted as a painter of landscapes and seascapes as exemplified in this painting. The busy port of South Shields is located on the south side of the mouth of the River Tyne, Northumberland. The settlement was founded by the Romans in AD80 when Agricola built a fort on the Lawe Top. The Romans used it as a supply base for Hadrian’s Wall and by the 5th Century, South Shields was a major Roman military stronghold and commercial centre. By 1500, South Shields had become an important seaport, trading primarily in timber, lead, coal and salt. The first shipbuilding yard was established by Robert Wallis in about 1720, he was soon followed by others, including Thomas Marshall...
