Bennett & Sons Ltd, Glasgow (fine art dealers) CRE FAED, Thomas; (Scottish; 1826-1900) Thomas Faed was a fashionable Victorian genre painter whose depiction of Scottish rural life followed in the popular tradition of Sir David Wilkie. Today he is best known for his images of emigration, such as The Last
of the Clan (1865), Kelvingrove, Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries. Although the success of paintings like The Milkmaid relied partly on Victorian sentimentality, the
artist?s ability to capture the fi ne qualities of light and his interest in textural paint surface make interesting comparison with Henry?s painting of the same subject some 30 years later. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MILK : GENRE : LANDSCAPE : SCOTTISH : VICTORIAN : HIGHLANDS : MOUNTAIN : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
