Att. John Glover P.O.W.S (1767-1849) - Extensive River Landscape

This very well executed landscape was attributed to Glover by the Albany Gallery. It bears all of the hallmarks of Glover and is very much in the style of his contemporaries Girtin and J.M.W. Turner. It depicts an extensive landscape with a winding river flowing through the valley. Glover travelled widely within the British Isles and this work (if it is not an imaginative landscape) is likely to be somewhere in Wales, the Lake District or Scotland. He was known as the 'English Claude' and this sweeping vista shows the influence of the great Master.
