PETER VAN BREDA | Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath, London
Oil on Canvas
33 x 55 cms / 13 x 21¾ inches
Signed P van Breda (lower left)
Peter van Breda captures the golden calm of a late afternoon on Parliament Hill, where London’s skyline shimmers through soft haze. Figures rest on benches, dogs wander and the city stretches beyond the trees in quiet silhouette. Van Breda’s painterly brushwork and luminous handling of light bring to mind the gentle rhythm of Hampstead Heath, celebrating a moment where urban life and open landscape meet in perfect balance.
Peter van Breda is one of Britain's leading en plein air painters. Dedicated to working outdoors, Peter's enthusiasm for painting is driven by his excitement at capturing the light, mood and atmosphere of a scene on canvas.
Light reflecting on water and the bridges of London that cross the River Thames have always been of foremost interest to Peter in his painting. He first came to us in the City at Gladwell Co where he charmed the gallery with his scenes of St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge, amongst others.
Peter's mesmerising impressionistic landscapes of London, Venice and Paris have since amassed a large following of dedicated collectors who delight in his record of these cities as they know it, in all weathers and at all times of day.
