Walter Cecil Horsnell Oil Painting - The Viaduct Knaresborough from High Bridge

Walter Cecil Horsnell (1911-1997) was born in Ware, Hertfordshire in 1911 and died in Harrogate in 1997. He was known principally as a landscape painter in watercolours, oil and pastels. He was an admirer of the a French impressionists (notably Camille Pissarro) and this is very evident from his work. He painted widely in the United Kingdom though he was best known in the county of Yorkshire where he made his home in he 1940s after World War 2. He exhibited at the RA and RBA. ‘The Viaduct Knaresborough from High Bridge’ signed oil on canvas. Rremnants of label verso bearing title. This is a particularly good example of the artist’s work.
