Stamford, River Welland shows the River Welland passing beneath Town Bridge, the principal stone crossing at the centre of Stamford, with its three arches reflected in the slow-moving water. The viewpoint is taken from the edge of the Meadows, a long-established riverside common, with the line of the bank and overhanging foliage guiding the eye towards the bridge. Historic limestone buildings rise beyond the river, their façades partially screened by trees.
Terence Gilbert, trained at Camberwell Art School. Following a career in illustration, he went on to become the wonderful equestrian and cityscape artist we know today.
A native Londoner, he has a deep passion for cityscapes, especially London’s landmarks like Battersea Power Station and St. Paul’s Cathedral. His artwork captures the essence of urban life, extending to the streets of New York, Parisian views, and Venetian architecture, often painted in situ before translating them into oils. In addition to cityscapes, Gilbert is renowned for equestrian portraits, painting famous racehorses and sports figures. His notable commissions include portraits of HM The Queen with President Reagan, and HM King Hussein of Jordan. Exhibited globally, Gilbert’s work continues to be in high demand.
Originally represented by W.H. Patterson in London, we continue to work with Terrence Gilbert to this day.
