The Old Brewery Gallery
|
A Collection of fine art originals, reproductions, and old photographs primarily
of Richmond North Yorkshire. Richmond with its dramatic Norman castle resting on its rugged crag above the river Swale is nothing if not picturesque and has captured the attention of artists throughout the ages. Many of those artists have recorded the scene from right outside our front door. The view across the green to the castle has provided much inspiration and indeed has inspired us to start this collection. | |

Artist: Victor Pasmore (1908 -1998) Nationality: English Title: The Quiet River: The Thames at Chiswick Medium: Oil on canvas (a hand painted copy of the original) Dimensions: H/W 450 X 580mm. Framed Price: £250.00 excl VAT View framed image In the mid-1940s Pasmore painted a series of views of the Thames at Chiswick.
In doing so he was following a tradition which goes back to nineteenth century
painters, including Turner and Whistler. Pasmore was aware of these precedents
when he worked on the series and, like those artists, concentrated on the subtle
light variations and the atmosphere of the scene. The timeless romanticism of
the diffused light and the horse and cart belie the reality of the place, which
was then an industrial area: the dark form on the right is the roof of an
especially malodorous vitamin factory. |

Watercolours This reproduction of one of England's most famous painters work is the pride of our collection. So good is the quality of the archival paper and the excellent giclee printing technique that it is absolutely undistinguishable from the original. Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner Nationality:

Richmond Castle and Town, Yorkshire Richmond may have been the very first of the Picturesque views to be painted; it was certainly among the first to be engraved. Turner shows the ancient town and castle bathed in morning light, crowning the hilltop in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The power of the rushing river Swale is suggested by the haze of spray rising above the falls; its energy powered the mills partly hidden behind trees to the right, buildings of interest to Turner as for a time they were used for paper making, but later converted to other uses, like the old brewery Guest House. The milkmaid in the foreground seems to be Turner's playful reference to the popular song The Lass of Richmond Hill; she provides a telling counterpoint to the castle keep, showing Turner's intention to embrace all classes of society in his great work. | |

Original Prints If you travelled on a train in the late forties and fifties the individual compartments of each carriage were decorated with prints of watercolours depicting scenes of Britain painted by renowned artists of the day. Often referred to as carriage prints they have become collectors items, and we have been fortunate to secure two original prints depicting Richmond, one of which was painted right outside The Old Brewery.
