This splendid 19th-century oil painting by British artist George Clare (1835-1890) depicts a mossy bank with various flora and a bird’s nest.

Clare was a master of still life, capturing nature’s abundance with deft handling and keen observation. His gentle portrayals enliven quaint pockets of vivid foliage and evoke a gentle walk in the English countryside. In many ways, he was inspired by his predecessor William Henry Hunt (1790-1864) - particularly with his use of stippling.

George Clare

George Clare

George Clare was an accomplished British painter of tumbling still lifes and iconic British flora. He worked initially in the decorative arts as a japanner while honing his skills as a painter. His works are often compared with those of William Henry Hunt (1790-1864) who appears to have been an influence and today he’s considered one of the foremost English still life painters of his generation. He's represented in numerous public collections.
