TW426932 Igtham Moat, Kent, c.1868 (oil on board) by Leader, Benjamin Williams (1831-1923); 40.9x61 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: This Elizabethan house with its surrounding moat is situated at Ightham in Kent (spelt Igtham by the artist). It is still a popular picturesque spot today. Benjamin Leader\'s style at this period was influenced by the bright colours of landscape scenes by the Pre-Raphaelite group of painters, though Leader tended to use a less minutely detailed approach. He has heightened the brightness of the green grass in this picture by contrasting it with the pinky brown colours of the little girls\' dresses;); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
