PETER VAN BREDA | St. Mary le Strand, London
19¾" x 15¾" / 50 x 40 cms
Oil on Canvas
“Looking up the Strand on a warm spring day I was struck by the afternoon light catching the top of the church, and the cool contrasting shadows darting across the pavement in the foreground. St Clement Danes Church can be seen in the background. It was a surprisingly tranquil spot to paint despite, being in central London"
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.
