BLAAUWKLIPPEN !! Large Vintage Framed Watercolor Painting-Landscape Art -SA Artist J Cullingworth

LARGE VINTAGE FRAMED WATERCOLOR PAINTING - LANDSCAPE ART - SA ARTIST JOHN CULLINGWORTH

JOHN CULLINGWORTH IS A SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST WHO RESIDES WITH HIS WIFE JEAN IN ROBERTSON.  THE SLOWLY VANISHING DUTCH ARCHITECTURE IS WHAT HAS INSPIRED THIS TALENTED ARTIST TO PAINT SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORKS.  HE USES MAINLY WATERCOLOR AS HIS MEDIUM AND HAS EXHIBITED BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.  TODAY HIS FABULOUS AND TALENTED WORK CAN BE FOUND IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL VINTAGE WATERCOLOR PAINTING FRAMED BEHIND BLUE MATTING INSIDE A VINTAGE WOOD FRAME.    THE ITEM IS A LARGE AND ATTRACTIVE WATERCOLOR PAINTING WHICH THE ARTIST HAS PAINTED IN AN ALMOST MONOCHROME STYLE WITH LIBERAL USE OF VERY DELICATE AND DETAILED BRUSHSTROKES IN A VARIETY OF BLUE COLORS WHICH BEAUTIFULLY DEPICTS "BLAAUWKLIPPEN" NEAR STELLENBOSCH" IN AMAZING  DETAIL WITH REMARKABLE TALENT.         BLAAUWKLIPPEN IS A WINE ESTATE TODAY REGARDED AS THE BEST IN STELLENBOSCH.  IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1682 BY GERRIT JANSZ VISSER BUT THE FIRST VINEYARDS WERE ONLY PLANTED IN 1688.  IN 1899 CECIL JOHN RHODES BECAME THE OWNER OF BLAAUWKLIPPEN, BUT ONLY FOR ONE DAY.   IN 1971 THE FAMOUS STELLENBOSCH WINE ROUTE WAS FOUNDED WITH BLAAUWKLIPPEN AS ONE OF THE FIRST MEMBERS

THIS IS A LARGE AND GORGEOUS DECORATIVE PIECE WHICH ADDS TREMENDOUSLY TO THE SURROUNDINGS WHEN DISPLAYED IN THE HOME.   I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER IT AN IDEAL PIECE OF INVESTMENT ART

THE FRAME DOES HAVE A BACKBOARD AS WELL AS PROTECTIVE GLASS AND IS ALREADY WIRED PROFESSIONALLY
