Alfred Edward, a name that resonates through the realms of art and history. From capturing the elegance of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales in the 19th century to immortalizing A. E. Housman in litho, his artistic prowess knew no bounds. In his masterpiece "Reedy Mere And Sunlit Hills" from 1890-91, Alfred Edward East transports us to a serene landscape where nature's beauty unfolds before our eyes. The tranquility continues with "Hayle from Lelant, Cornwall" in 1892, as we witness the harmonious dance between land and sea. But it is in "The Golden Valley, " created around 1893, that Alfred Edward truly showcases his mastery. With each brushstroke, he brings life to rolling hills and vibrant foliage that seem to whisper secrets only nature knows. Yet Alfred Edward's talent extends beyond landscapes; he delves into portraiture with finesse. In Benjamin Disraeli's captivating gaze captured circa 1840 (c1890), we glimpse the charisma of this British politician who shaped an era. And then there are moments frozen in time like "In The Park" from c1864-1906 where laughter echoes amidst lush greenery or "The Marchioness of Aylesbury" painted by WH Egleton in 1840 - both portraits capturing slices of society's tapestry. With every stroke imbued with emotion and skill, Alfred Edward creates worlds within canvases. His work evokes nostalgia and wonderment alike – whether it be Princess Charlotte elegantly portrayed by Henry Thomas Ryall or unknown figures basking near lakeshores as seen in "By the Edge of the Lake. " As seasons change, so does Alfred Edward's palette.
