"The Dame School" Oil Painting on Canvas by William Bromley

About the Item

A wonderful 19th century English painting depicting an English dame school in the 19th century. William Bromley (1818-1888), was the grandson of the famous engraver William Bromley and initially worked as an engraver himself but soon turned to painting. He created primarily rural genre scenes with children playing in idyllic landscapes. As a member of the Royal Society of British Artists he exhibited over 187 of his works in Suffolk Street during his lifetime. Between 1844 and 1870 many of his works were shown at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. Some of Bromley’s paintings are held in the Harvard University Art Museum, Massachusetts and the Manchester City Art Gallery.

  • Cuzco School Oil Painting on Canvas of the Holy Family
    Located in Hastings, GB
    An exceptional early Cuzco School painting, naive depiction of the Holy Family, presented in a contemporary wooden frame. The Cuzco or Cusco school was a Roman Catholic artistic tradition that began in the 1500's in Peru, following the Spanish conquest and subsequent attempts by the Spanish invaders and missionaries to implement the Catholic faith and associated customs upon the Peruvian people. The school was established in the ancient city of Cusco which had previously been the capital of the Incan empire. Bernardo Bitti arrived in Peru in 1583, and with his arrival the acceleration of Cuzqueno Art flourished. During his two stays in Cusco, Bitti was commissioned to make the main altarpiece of the church of his Order, replaced by another after the earthquake, and painted some masterpieces, such as The Coronation of the Virgin, currently in the museum of the church of La Merced, and the Virgen del pajarito, in the cathedral. Cuzco School paintings are marked by their baroque influenced imagery and the subjects of the paintings shown with light focused upon them. Cuzco art...
