Description: | This is one of several views that Alfred de Br��anski painted on the River Thames near London. Spectators in boats crowd the side of the river to watch the rowing at Henley Regatta. The view from the top of a pleasure barge has similarities with French Impressionist paintings of leisure boating scenes. By cutting off the boat in the foreground, the artist was able to give the picture a snapshot, real-life quality. Alfred de Br��anski was a successful landscape painter. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East views | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
