Now Came Still Evening On

Joseph Farquharson, a renowned Scottish artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is celebrated for his mastery of the landscape genre. His 1905 painting, Now Came Still Evening On, exemplifies his commitment to Realism, capturing the nuanced interplay of natural light and atmosphere. Farquharson’s technique combines delicate brushwork with a rich palette to evoke the tranquil transition from day to night. The title itself reflects a serene moment of dusk, emphasizing the calm and stillness inherent in the quiet closing of the day, a hallmark of his evocative and poetic approach to landscape painting.
