More about this artwork

In the enchanting 1924 painting "Richmond, Thames," artist Alfred William Finch masterfully captures a serene riverside landscape that epitomizes the calm and charm of early twentieth-century Richmond upon Thames. Through Finch's impressionistic brush strokes, viewers are invited into a tranquil scene along the beloved River Thames.The foreground of the painting is dominated by the gently rippling waters of the Thames, painted with a lively blend of blues, greens, and whites which reflect the dynamic texture of water in motion. These cool tones contrast with the warm, muted colors of the background, where Finch has depicted the Richmond riverside.On the left of the composition, lush, green foliage, painted with robust and energetic strokes, overshadows the riverside, epitomizing the fullness of life by the river. The banks are dotted with leisure boats, indicative of a peaceful day out on the water. Adding depth and interest to the scene, several figures can be spotted interacting along the bank, their activities adding a human touch to the natural landscape.To the right and far off in the landscape, thin, elegant poplar trees line the horizon, directing the viewer's eye back across the river, while a hint of industrial or residential structures adds a touch of human presence, merging nature with civilization."Richmond, Thames" by Alfred William Finch presents a captivating snapshot of life along the river — a historic piece that not only reveals the natural beauty of Richmond but also encapsulates the leisurely pace and timeless allure of river life.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
