James Baker Pyne (British, 1800-1870) Windermere from Waterhead
James Baker Pyne (British, 1800-1870) Windermere from Waterhead signed, dated and numbered 'JBPYNE 1850/No.318.' (lower left) oil on canvas 91.4 x 132.1cm (36 x 52in). Footnotes: Provenance With Thomas Agnew & Sons, Manchester. Private collection, UK. Exhibited Kendall, Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Viewfinders, 31 May - 27 July 1980, no. 43. The Lake District was a favourite subject of Pyne's and one to which he regularly returned between his travels to Italy, the Alps and the Rhineland. Here we see the northern reaches of Lake Windermere with the pier at Waterhead in the foreground. The River Rothay and the northern shore and hills beyond are illuminated by sunlight piercing through tumultuous clouds, though Brathay Hall, sitting squat amongst the trees on the far shore, remains in their shade. A very similar view titled The Head of Lake Windermere and dated 1849 is held in the Government Art Collection alongside Landscape near Ambleside dated 1844. A further interesting comparison is an oil titled Thirlmere, Cumberland dated 1867 and held in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum.
