A tranquil riverbank at sunset by Edward Mitchell Bannister, featuring two figures in a small boat. The muted colour palette and soft brushstrokes create a hazy, dreamlike effect.
Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901) was an African-American artist known for his atmospheric tonalist landscapes. Born in Canada, he spent most of his career in Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, becoming a prominent member of the local art scene. Bannister was a founding member of the Providence Art Club and received a bronze medal at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, a significant achievement for an African-American artist at the time. His work often depicts serene, pastoral settings, reflecting a sense of peace and contemplation. 'River Scene' exemplifies Bannister's characteristic style. The painting presents a tranquil riverbank at sunset. Two figures are in a small boat on the water. The composition is dominated by a large tree on the left, its foliage rendered in soft, blended brushstrokes. The colour palette is muted, with warm tones of gold, brown, and green creating a hazy, dreamlike effect. The sky glows with the setting sun, casting reflections on the water. The overall impression is one of quiet beauty and harmony with nature.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
