Henry Bright, In The Welsh Hills

Henry Bright, In The Welsh HillsThis mid 19th century oil painting by British artist Henry Bright (1810 1873) depicts a panoramic view with cottage, pond, figure and peaks. Nestled within the formidable Welsh hills stands a humble cottage of stone and thatch. Warmed by a comforting fire, its a welcome retreat amid unpredictable weather. A woman, wrapped in a heavy woollen shawl, ambles between grassy banks with the tinted peaks beyond elegantly wrapped in cool mists. On the left,

The pair were married in Sevenoaks

so it was probably produced in around 1780 after an earlier work

One such mind was Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) whose wonky array of unbalanced tabletops were groundbreaking and adventurous
