Newby Bridge by Alfred East |
|
|
| This landscape was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1913. It shows the bridge on a windy autumn day, with a lone figure walking over it in the middle distance. In the foreground are an elderly couple on the way to market. Birds fly high in the sky, which is sullen in the distance. East had great expertise in creating these brooding bleak landscapes, one can almost feel the cold wind, and the overall effect has echoes of the paintings of John Constable. |
