Robert MacAulay StevensonWooded River Landscape at Dusk - Scottish Victorian art oil painting moonlightCirca 1899
Circa 1899
About the Item
This atmospheric exhibited Scottish Impressionist Victorian landscape oil painting is by noted Glasgow Boy artist Robert Macaulay Stevenson. Painted circa 1899 the theme is one close to Stevenson's heart, a moonlit river landscape with wispy Impressionist trees and wonderful reflections. No one can do it better. The vibrant greens in the foreground and reflections on the water are just beautiful. This is an excellent example of a Glasgow Boy artist's work and would not look out of place in a museum. Indeed similar examples are housed in Kelvingrove Glasgow Art Gallery. The painting was sold via the dealership of Alex Reid one of the most famous art dealers of the 19th century and this painting retains his label verso. His portrait by Vincent van Gogh is also on view in Kelvingrove Gallery.

Robert Macaulay Stevenson (1854-1952) was a Scottish painter associated, like EA Hornel, with the later history of the Glasgow Boys. His elder brother was the Liberal politician Sir Daniel Macaulay Stevenson, a Lord Provost of Glasgow and Chancellor of the University of Glasgow. Stevenson was influenced by the work of the Barbizon school, especially Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He worked from studios in Glasgow, at Montreuil-sur-Mer in France, at Kirkcudbright, and at Bardowie Loch, Dunbartonshire. He was deeply involved in the artistic life in Glasgow and largely responsible for ensuring the Glasgow Art Club was won over to the new movement. He is best known for his paintings of river scenes, often in moonlight with use of rich impasto giving a rather gloomy but romantic aspect to the scene. Of all the Glasgow Boys it is said he was closest to Hornel and Henry in style although popular with all of them, Melville would never stay anywhere else when in Glasgow. Lavery called him the prophet of the School, having survived all the other Glasgow Boys, he became a symbol of what they stood for. In 1920 he married the Scottish artist Stansmore Dean.
