(1877 - 1957) 
A Summer Garden
(Sold)
Alfred Fontville de Breanski, Jr., was the son and pupil of Alfred de Breanski, Sr., the well-known Victorian landscape artist. Like his father, de Breanski, Jr. often painted the mountainous landscapes of Scotland and Wales concentrating on the effects of sunlight on the Highland scenery at different times of the day. His work was readily confused with that of his father's, even though he signed his works Alfred de Breanski, Jun.
During the 1905 – 1920 period, de Breanski painted a series of beautiful English garden scenes done in a colorful, impressionistic, style. Even today, they are among the most sought after works by the artist. De Breanski, Jr. exhibited several works at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Academy during his lifetime, included among these were A Cottage Garden (1907, R.A.) and Summer (1912, R.A.).
