Patrick Nasmyth (Scottish, 1787 - 1831) "Scottish Landscape" oil on panel, signed, offered without reserve
This is an absolutely cracking oil on panel by this extremely well known and well listed Scottish artist. It is a typical Nasmyth bucolic landscape, and extremely well painted. It is signed to the base. I would guess it dates towards the end of hims life - around 1820ish. was the eldest son of the famous artist Alexander Nasmyth, whilst his younger brother, James, was a prominent engineer who gained notoriety as the inventor of the steam hammer.
Nasmyth was born in Edinburgh and was named after his father's patron, Patrick Miller. He developed an affinity for art at an early age and, on seeing this, his father took a keen interest in developing his son's talent. As a teenager Nasmyth lost the use of his right hand following an accident, forcing him to learn how to paint with his left. He also lost most of his hearing through illness. Much of Nasmyth's work, a great deal of which is undated, depicts his native Scotland, which he continued to paint even after moving to London in 1810. Like his father, he was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters of the 17th century, particularly Meindert Hobbema and Jacob van Ruysdael (a large number of works by both men were displayed in London galleries during Nasmyth's lifetime).
He is extremely popular in the auction rooms as can be seen from the sample of prices listed below. This fantastic work by an important artist is offered without reserve, and postage to the US is FREE!
