Benjamin Williams Leader
Benjamin Williams Leader RA (12 March 1831 – 22 March 1923) was an English landscape painter. Leader's early works bore the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites with their attention to fine detail and emphasis on painting from nature "en plein air". In his later years he adopted a looser style which was more impressionistic rather than being an exact copy of nature and this proved to be more popular. Critic James Dafforne, writing in 1871 in The Art Journal said of Leader's style:he shows a fine sense of the beauties of nature, in her varied aspects, allied with much poetic feeling. Mr. Leader's style is a happy medium between excess of detail and over-elaboration on the one hand, and dash of execution on the other. There is enough of finish in his works to satisfy those who look for carefulness, but this quality does not degenerate into affected trivialities, while they show breadth of manner and brilliant effect by judicious arrangement of light and shade. His colouring, too, is generally pure and true to nature. According to "The Art Journal" of 1901, amongst Leader's most popular works during his lifetime were, "In Autumn there shall be light", "February Fill Dyke" and "The Valley of the Llugwy".[18] And amongst his best works at the time it considered: "Romantic Tintern – dreaming in the moonlight", "In the evening it shall be light" and "The Old Holyhead road through North Wales". Leader's paintings are currently exhibited publicly at the Victoria and Albert Museum and Tate Gallery in London, and in Worcester (the largest collection of his works in Britain by far), Manchester, Birmingham and other regions in Britain. The Cambridge gallery in Santa Monica, USA, also has several of his works. Many, in addition, are held by private collectors. In 2003, "A Summer's Day" (1888) sold at auction for £168,000 at Sotheby's.
