Anthony Avery
British Impressionist Watercolor of English Village Landscape with Stone Bridge

About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of English Village Landscape with Stone Bridge by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 11 x 15.5 inches (Height x Width) Signed: Yes Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This serene watercolor painting captures a quintessential English village scene, inviting the viewer into a tranquil rural landscape where time seems to stand still. The artist has skillfully depicted a quaint collection of cottages with their characteristic chimneys and steeply pitched roofs, huddled together amidst lush greenery. The central building, likely a small church or chapel, rises modestly above the cottages with its simple stone tower, suggesting a place of quiet refuge within the village. A robust stone bridge in the foreground arches gracefully over a gentle stream or small river. Its warm, earthy tones complement the surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious unity between man-made and natural elements. The bridge is portrayed with careful detail, with the light casting soft shadows that give it a sense of depth and solidity. On the left, large trees with sprawling branches add a natural frame to the scene. Their foliage is rendered in muted greens and browns, blending seamlessly into the softer tones of the sky. The sky itself is painted in subtle washes of gray and blue, hinting at the soft, diffused light typical of an overcast English day, which enhances the calm and peaceful mood of the painting. In the background, hints of green fields stretch into the distance, grounding the scene in a pastoral setting. The artist's careful use of light and shadow, along with the gentle, blended colors, imbues the piece with a timeless quality, evoking a sense of nostalgia and simplicity that characterizes rural life. This watercolor not only captures a physical place but also conveys the quiet beauty and enduring charm of an English village nestled in nature.
