Seaside oil painting by listed UK Cornish artist, Thomas Hart FSA 1830-1916. Titled, 'Rocky Seaside View at Sunset', it is an antique oil on board depicting a view of a seaside setting with huge boulders at sunset. The scene appears to be loosely based on Steeple Rock in Kynance Cove, Cornwall. The lovely gradient running above and below the horizon makes this an eye-catching work with an other worldly, modern vibe. Hart has exhibited masterful attention in clarity and saturation in the details of the landscape and horizon. The work is signed, dated 1882 and titled 'Helston' verso.
Housed in a giltwood and gesso swept frame, ready to hang.
Auction records for Hart to $4,300.
