Cornish School Artist, Edwardian Street, 1980s, Oil on Canvas, Framed

This is a large vintage Edwardian street painting. An English, original oil on canvas in giltwood frame , dating to the late 20th century.

John Bampfield (1947 - ) is a British artist working in oils and emerged from the burgeoning Cornish School of the mid 1960s, buoyed by the artistic hubs of Penzance and St. Ives (home of The Tate gallery). Bampfield's works favour Edwardian scenes, maritime studies or historic battles.

Superb size and appealing colour presents a fine example of the artist's work
Displays a desirable aged patina and in good order throughout
Original oil on canvas with fine texture and appealing brush work
Set within a striking giltwood frame, of impressively deep proportion

A favoured setting for the artist, the Edwardian street scene radiates from the canvas
Rain slick cobbles reflect the bright shop fronts of a damp, early evening
Enigmatic incandescent street lights cast their iconic yellow glow in the background
A woman and child walk through the scene towards an omnibus emerging from the distance

Signed to the lower left corner by John Bampfield
Relief flowerheads adorn the frame with ornate detail
Frame dressed with mounting wire to the rear for ease of hanging

This is a delightful vintage Edwardian street painting with great colour and a fascinating subject matter, realised with aplomb. Delivered ready to display.
