Thomas James Soper, Rural Landscape With River
A charming Victorian oil on canvas by the ever-popular painter, Thomas James Soper (1836-1890). It’s a beautiful example of traditional British landscape painting from the mid-19th-century.
On the left of the composition, we see a boy walking alongside a donkey, perhaps returning home. He’s turning his head to look across the river towards a distant church and several grazing cows. The brow of a substantial hill is visible on the horizon.
Soper was primarily a landscape painter and he travelled to various parts of the UK to capture picturesque views. He was particularly fond of the countryside in Devon and spots along the Thames.
During the mid-19th-century, rural landscapes were increasingly popular with the growing middle-classes. Art was becoming a little more accessible and painters such as Thomas James Soper, Thomas Creswick (1811-1869) and Alfred Vickers (1786-1868) were meeting that demand.
Soper’s approach is rooted in British romanticism and stems from John Constable’s passion for the countryside. But it’s also noticeably different due to its quicker, more obvious, brushwork. He probably painted most of this outdoors before returning to his studio to add refinements.
Thomas James Soper exhibited widely during his lifetime including at the Royal Society of Artists, British Institution, Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, and Royal Institute of Painters. His works are held in several museums.
The painting is signed/dated in the lower left and housed within an impressive 19th-century Rococo revival foliate frame.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Overall size: 31½” x 23” / 80cm x 59cm
Year of creation: 1858
Provenance: Germany
Condition: Light craquelure in areas. Recently cleaned. No obvious signs of restoration under UV. Frame with wear including cracks and losses - particularly in the lower-left corner. However, the frame does seem to be holding together well following repairs.
Artist’s auction highlight: £4,000 achieved for ‘Shipping Off A Pier’ at Bonhams in 1998. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
