Sidney Richard Percy (London 1822 - Bedfordshire 1886) - River landscape with swallows in flight. 51.5 x 76.5 cm (unframed) - 57.5 x 82.5 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame. Signed lower left: "Percy". Sidney Richard Percy, born Williams, is one of the leading British landscape painters of the 19th century, a member of a family of artists active in the English Romantic landscape school. His work focuses on the depiction of English rural and riverine nature, with particular attention to the atmospheric rendering of light and vegetation. The painting depicts a river bend surrounded by summer greenery. In the foreground, on the right bank, a rock emerges from the grass and flowering bushes, next to a tall tree with dense foliage. The river water extends towards the background, where the opposite bank disappears into a wooded strip. The sky, traversed by white clouds, is enlivened by several swallows in flight. The brushwork is loose in the vegetation and more careful in the rendering of the water reflections, in the artist's usual manner. Condition report: Original canvas.
