About the Item
Henry Pether, late 18th-century Moonlight lake Landscape.
Born into a family of artists, Henry was the son of Abraham Pether (1756-1812), a talented landscape painter originally from Chichester, recognized for his skill in depicting moonlit scenes. His pictures attracted much admiration, earning him the sobriquet of "Moonlight" Pether. Abraham had another son who became a painter, Sebastian, who was also influenced by his father’s artistic interests and he too painted moonlit scenes. Unlike his father and brother, however, Henry favored actual scenes, often of the Thames, over the more artificial compositions of his father and brother. His works convey an evocative sense of poetry and realism, such as in the present lot, with great attention to detail and dramatic composition.
This is a very good example of the artist's work and in real life has a great deal of presence and impact.
The painting is framed in a Silver vintage English frame.

- Antique English 19th century marine sceneBy William AndersonLocated in Woodbury, CTOutstanding English late 18th / early 19th century marine scene by one of Britain's best known and sought after painters. William (or Wiliam) Anderson (1757 – 27 May 1837) was a Scottish artist specializing in maritime and patriotic themes. He was well-regarded for his detailed and accurate portraits of ships under sail, exhibiting his works annually in London between 1787 and 1811 and then occasionally until 1834. Anderson influenced other artists, notably John Ward and others of the Hull school. Anderson's early life is obscure, but he is known to have trained as a shipwright before moving to London to become a maritime painter when he was about 30. His training served him well as a painter, providing "a practical nautical knowledge" of his subjects. He earned a reputation for "accuracy and refinement of detail" and was admired for his bright, clear colours. He worked in both oils and watercolours. He based his style on that of well-known Dutch maritime...Category
