Country Landscape With Figure – signed William Freeman (1853-1935).

Description

William Freeman was born in Norwich 1853, attended the South Kensington Art School (which later became the Royal College of Art) and won a prize from Lord Leighton.

He painted in the same circle as John Sell Cotman Influenced by his voracious appetite for Romantic Literature, especially Blake and Shelley, Freeman’s work is often inhabited by wraith-like figures alone and gazing out to sea or across dark, dramatic landscapes; there is a constant sense of searching for another world.
