Julijs Feders

Fishermen's Nest 1886 oil on canvas

- Latvian Artist Julijs Feders 1838-1909
- The warm, glowing quality of this piece is amazing. Perfectly highlighted by the golden picture frame, the autumnal shades in this painting are beautiful. The subtlety of the colouring and detail shown is highly skilled and has become one of my favourites. It is nice to see that local artists can produce some fantastic work and definitely can sit comfortably with the more famous artist's work next to it.
