Notes
A highly accomplished original oil painting on canvas by English
landscape painter of Highland scenes Frank Hider. The warm, bright
colours and composition is very much in the style made popular by Alfred
de Breanski and his son. The Victorian hankering for Scotland has never
disappeared, and Hider pleasingly evokes the mountains and lochs north
of the border, the lighting and colours are especially pleasing and this
is a particularly atmospheric example of Hider's work. The painting
is signed lower right and inscribed verso. A very fine work that would
grace any home or collection. Housed in a lovely gilt frame. These paintings by frank hider are highly collectible.
