More about this artwork

Sir John Lavery's painting, "The Path by the River, Maidenhead," created in 1919, captures a serene moment in the lush landscape of Maidenhead, an area known for its scenic riverside views. This artwork beautifully expresses the tranquility and natural beauty of the English countryside during the early 20th century.The painting depicts a dappled path running alongside a river, shaded by towering trees. Lavery’s use of light and shadow is remarkable, vividly portraying the sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting patterns of light and warmth onto the walkway. The path, enveloped by greenery and speckled with shadows, creates a tranquil and inviting scene that pulls the viewer into this peaceful stroll.At the center of the scene, we can observe a figure, possibly a woman, accompanied by a dog. The figure’s presence adds a human element to the natural landscape, suggesting the enjoyment of nature and the leisurely pace of life outside the hustle and bustle of urban environments. The person and their dog are painted with quick, impressionistic strokes, suggesting movement and a fleeting moment captured in time.Sir John Lavery, known for his skills as a portraitist and painter of landscapes, demonstrates his mastery over color and form in this painting. The wild, untamed beauty of the forest contrasts with the controlled and thoughtful placement of color, giving the work a balanced and harmonious feel."The Path by the River, Maidenhead" is not just a visual treat; it’s a window into a moment of peace and simplicity, reflecting Lavery's ability to blend realism with the emotive power of natural light and color.

Sir John Lavery was an Irish painter best known for his portraits and wartime depictions.

John Lavery was born in inner North Belfast, baptised at St Patrick's Church, Belfast and, while still a child, moved to Scotland where he attended Haldane Academy in Glasgow in the 1870s and the Académie Julian in Paris in the early 1880s. He returned to Glasgow and was associated with the Glasgow School. William Burrell, a wealthy ship owner, was a faithful patron of Scottish artists including Joseph Crawhall II, with whom Lavery studied. In 1888 he was commissioned to paint the state visit of Queen Victoria to the Glasgow International Exhibition. This launched his career as a society painter and he moved to London soon after. In 1896, William Burrell commissioned Lavery to paint a portrait of his sister Mary Burrell.
