About the Item
Luxembourg: Place de la Gare (Railway Station)
by Leonard Machin Rowe (1880-1968)
signed lower right
watercolour painting on artist's paper, unframed
Image: 9.75 x 13.75 inches, sheet 11 x 15 inches
Colourful depiction of the central railway station in Luxembourg, Place de la Gare, by Leon. Rowe. It is inscribed to the back, and dated May '50 on the back. A bustling scene with people going about their daily business on a spring day. The artist made some notes of interest on the back, including his observation of the steam engine in the image and that it travelled on the car track in the main thoroughfare.
Belgium and Luxembourg were two of Rowe's favourite destinations for his painting trips overseas. Often incorporating figures into his work, his style is very similar to Thomas Morley's paintings of French and Belgian market town scenes.
Signed front lower right, additional inscription and date to the back. This work forms part of a watercolour collection we currently hold by Rowe.
Known as Leon Rowe, the artist was born in Staffordshire, England, in Christmas week of 1880. His career and business involved in him interior decoration, and the design and painting of theatre production stage scenery. He had a love of painting in watercolour for his own pleasure and the collection of work we currently hold by this artist shows exemplary skill. In his later years he was able to travel to Europe where much of his post war work was executed, although examples of his paintings are recorded as early as 1914, when he would have been around 25 years old. His earlier work shows his signature as Leon Rowe but the majority he signed as L M Rowe - as is the case here. He passed away in 1968.
condition report:
No tears or creases. The image is contained within a blank white margin area, the margin has marks and rough edges but the image remains clear. Some dark shading to the centre of the upper margin which only just drifts onto the image, but once framed and matted this would not be seen. Good colour.
