Alfred de Breanski’s The Salmon Pool, Glen Shiel exemplifies the grandeur of late 19th-century British landscape painting. The composition captures the dramatic Highland valley of Glen Shiel, rendered with wide ranging tonal variation and atmospheric depth. Breanski’s nuanced treatment of light cascading over rugged hills and reflective water embodies the Romantic tradition, celebrating the sublime beauty of Scotland’s wilderness.
Alfred de Breanski Snr. was a British landscape painter, best known for his idyllic depictions of rural Wales and Scotland, particularly highland lochs at sunset, which exude a golden rosy light.
Breanski was deeply inspired by both John Constable and William Turner but sought his own style of expression.
He was fascinated by the texture of rock, earth and foliage and would focus on the minute details of a particular plant or craggy rockface.
