Description
🐄 Misty Morn Beneath Ben Nevis: Longhorn Cattle by Loch Linnhe By Tom Seymour (1844–1904) 🎨 Subject & Medium This evocative 19th-century oil on canvas by renowned British landscape painter Tom Seymour captures the timeless beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Titled “Misty Morn Beneath Ben Nevis: Longhorn Cattle by Loch Linnhe,” the work is a pastoral tribute to the rugged, mist-veiled landscapes of western Scotland, where land, sky, and loch merge in poetic harmony. Painted circa 1880, the canvas reveals Seymour’s hallmark talent for atmospheric compositions and romantic naturalism. It is presented in a later classic gilt moulded frame, adding vintage charm and ready-to-hang appeal. 🖌️ Composition & Technique Set in the soft light of dawn, the painting opens with Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest peak, emerging ethereally through morning mist. Its spectral silhouette rises over Loch Linnhe, rendered in shimmering hues of grey and silver. In the foreground, Highland longhorn cattle graze peacefully among heather and wild grasses. Seymour depicts these animals with earthy realism — their russet and cream coats glowing against the cool tones of the landscape, embodying the hardy spirit and pastoral traditions of the Highlands. The composition is beautifully structured, leading the viewer’s eye from the richly detailed foreground to the misty expanse beyond. Seymour’s brushwork reveals two distinctive approaches: Soft, feathery strokes for the sky and atmosphere, lending mood and depth Precise, textural brushwork for cattle, rocks, and vegetation, adding lifelike detail His refined palette blends: Cool greys and silvers in the sky and mountains Deep olive and mossy greens across the hills Warm russets, ochres, and browns in the cattle Subtle ivory reflections across the water This tonal interplay creates a serene and immersive scene — both realistic in detail and Romantic in spirit. 👤 About the Artist Tom Seymour (1844–1904) was a prominent Victorian landscape painter known for his atmospheric portrayals of the British countryside. While not a Royal Academician, Seymour was widely exhibited and admired, particularly for his works depicting Scottish and northern rural settings, often featuring cattle, sheep, and dramatic weather. His works remain popular with collectors of 19th-century British art, and his paintings continue to appear in reputable auctions and collections across the UK. Highest Auction Price: $11,278 USD — a testament to growing interest in Seymour’s work. 📏 Dimensions & Presentation Framed Size: 67 cm (W) × 47 cm (H) × 2.5 cm (D) Housed in a later gilt moulded frame — tasteful and display-ready 🧾 Provenance From a Private British Collection Acquired via Middle Shire auction, renowned for fine art consignments Previously exhibited at Middle Shire Museum in a curated Victorian Highlands display Offered by Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD Accompanied by full provenance documentation 💚 Why Collect This Piece? ✅ Richly detailed Highland scenery ✅ Romantic depiction of Ben Nevis and Loch Linnhe ✅ Lifelike rendering of Highland longhorn cattle ✅ Atmospheric and emotional landscape ✅ Authenticated 19th-century work by a respected British painter ✅ Elegant frame and wall-ready ✅ Ideal for collectors of Scottish or Romantic landscapes ✅ Perfect for classic, rustic, or traditional interiors 🔎 Explore more treasures at: Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD
