Charles Greville Morris, Landscape With River, Cottage & Distant Hills

Charles Greville Morris, Landscape With River, Cottage & Distant HillsA fine late 19th century landscape painting by British painter, Charles Greville Morris (1861 1922). The composition is blissful and easy on the eye. Note how the tree on the left guides your view outwards towards the distant hills and past a charming cottage. Morris hailed from Manchester, trained in Paris, and exhibited at the Royal Academy. He lived in St Ives from around 1892 and one of his works is currently held at the Manchester City Art
