Landscapes
The landscape is the backbone of the antique art market, and our collection reflects its full range — pastoral meadows and rivers, dramatic Highland views, wooded lanes and golden harvest scenes, painted in oil on canvas, oil on board and watercolour. The 19th-century British school is especially strong here, prized for its truth to nature and handling of light.
