Highland Cattle Oil Painting By William Langley
We are delighted to offer for sale this tranquil and evocative oil on canvas by the artist WILLIAM LANGLEY, who has signed the painting in the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts a scene of Loch Awe and its surrounding mountains, with a group of three shaggy, highland cattle watering near the banks. Loch Awe is a very large freshwater loch in Argyll and Bute on the west coast of Scotland.
WILLIAM LANGLEY, who flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century, was a prolific landscape painter, primarily in oil, who specialised in coastal beach scenes, highland scenes usually with cattle and rural landscapes. Surprisingly, for such a prolific painter, little is known about his life, which leads us to the conclusion that his name is a pseudonym. He is frequently confused with the West Country artist Walter Langley and the dates given for him are often the same i.e. 1852-1922. However, this is incorrect. We have also seen it put forward that this is one of the pseudonyms used by Daniel Sherrin, but we cannot confirm this.
The fact that our reference books do not list this artist also points to it being a pseudonym or that he did not exhibit his work, but we have found one written biography in Jeremy Wood's excellent book 'Hidden Talents', which we quote below:
'Painter in oil of rural landscapes and coastal scenes who was working in the early 1900s. The subjects of this prolific artist included views in Cornwall, the South of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Among the titles of known works are 'On the Lledr', 'Wee Bridge, Killarney', 'In the Glen', and 'Sunshine after Rain, a Village in the Thames'. The work shows a distinct simarity to that of several artists working at the time and the signature could possibly be a pseudonym. The pictures are often large and decorative and have become increasingly popular in recent years.'
