Offered for sale is a beautiful large antique etching titled Great Marlow, also known as Great Marlow on the Thames, engraved by noted French printmaker Alfred-Louis Brunet-Debaines after the celebrated 1886 painting by British landscape artist George Vicat Cole, R.A.
The scene captures a serene evening along the River Thames at Marlow, England. A church spire rises above the distant trees while horses and their rider cross the shallow water in the foreground. Soft twilight, reflective water, autumn foliage, and the delicate crescent moon give the composition a quiet, romantic atmosphere characteristic of the finest Victorian landscape art.
George Vicat Cole was elected a full member of the Royal Academy in 1880 and became especially admired for his detailed, atmospheric views of the English countryside and the River Thames. His original painting Great Marlow on the Thames was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886.
Alfred-Louis Brunet-Debaines was a respected French etcher who studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and established a substantial career in Britain. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and was elected to the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers in 1882.
