Description

A fantastically atmospheric painting of 19th Century city life by renowned British artist Colin Maxwell Parsons, signed under his pseudonym of “Glenn”. This is a beautifully evocative painting detailing a cavalry charge. The sheer number of horses cantoring at speed across a dusty scene has created a trail of dust behind them which makes a fantastic backdrop to the painting. The military fomation is a large v shape heading straight towards the viewer with the red, white and blue union flag at the forefront. The painting is finished in a wooden gilded frame which measures 61 x 51 cm. The painting itself measures 50 x 40 cm.

Colin Maxwell Parsons British born in Birmingham in 1936. According to one source Parsons is considered to be one of the finest contemporary landscape artists in Europe. Now signing everything with his own name rather than his previous pseudonym, he mainly paints watercolour landscapes.
