Peter Johan Schou, Coastal View With Rocky Scenery

Peter Johan Schou, Coastal View With Rocky Scenery

A bright early 20th-century landscape painting depicting a coastal view by Danish painter, Peter Johan Schou (1863-1934).

Initially, our eyes are drawn to the scattering of large rocks that emerge from the water. Schou has rendered these well with the ones in the foreground possessing a gentle sheen of accrued moisture. It’s plausible that some of these tumbled from the cliffs to our left, which wrap around the view and take us finally out to sea.

The painting is signed/dated in the lower right and housed in a later frame.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
