Sidney Richard Percy (1821 - 1886) Near Bettws-y-Coed; Moel Siabod from Capel Curig, with cattle by the water and figures on the bank A Pair; one signed, lower centre: S R Percy, the other signed and dated, lower right: S R Percy/1865 Each oil on canvas 23¼ x 37 in – 59 x 94 cm frame size 30 x 40 in - 76.5 x 112cm Artist description: Born in London in 1821, Sidney Richard Williams took the last name Percy to distinguish himself from his five bothers and his father, all themselves painters. Percy lived for many years, as did a number of his brothers, in Barnes before marrying Emily Fairlawn and subsequently moving to Wimbledon. A quiet and diffident man, as described by William Callow, and a prosperous and successful artist, Percy moved to a country house in Great Missenden in 1863, aspiring to the lifestyle of a country gentleman, later moving to Redhill and Sutton, where he died following a horse riding fall. Percy was a highly successful landscape painter, his earlier works showing the influence of his older brother Henry John Boddington (1811-1865). However, after painting in Devon and the South, Percy took to visiting the Lake District and North Wales and later in life, Scotland. There existed a huge demand throughout the 19th century for paintings of wild uncultivated mountainous landscapes, nature, as it were, in the raw. Percy would include figures, frequently based on photographs of local children or gypsies, to emphasise the majesty and grandeur of the landscape. He was the most successful of the Williams brother. His works can be found in museums in: London, Royal Collection of H.M. the Queen, Tate Gallery; Cardiff, National Museum of Wales; Leeds; Hull and Sheffield..

Sidney Richard Percy - “Across the Common” - Ref 2307
Sidney Richard Percy - “Across the Common” - Ref 2307 A crisply painted summer scene depicting two children watching some sheep grazing at the side of a path winding its way across the common, painted by renowned 19th century artist Sidney Richard Percy. Born in London, 5th son of Edward Williams of the famous William’s family of painters, Sidney began his career when his elder brothers were already well established. His very early work was signed Sidney Williams but at 20 adopted the surname Percy, under which his paintings of Home Counties, Devon, Yorkshire, the Lake District, Skye and North Wales, were to achieve a greater popularity than those of any other member of the Williams family. When Sidney married in 1863, he and his new family settled in Buckinghamshire. Their Regency home, Hill House was ideally placed for the study of the English wooded landscape, as it looked across the Misbourne Valley to the beech woods and beyond. Percy reached the peak of his popularity as an artist during the years he spent there and was able to support the extravagant tastes of his wife Percy’s palette was bright and realistic, his style meticulous and highly detailed, with a natural air and look to all his work. He regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy (1842-1886), and the British Institute. His works are also found in museums and galleries such as the Victoria Art Gallery, Bath; the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff; The Museum of Fine Arts, Canada; and museums and city art galleries in Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Sunderland, Salford and York.

Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880
Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880 Peter Bishop PhD 2001 Vol.1 - Text Dissertation submitted in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of Art, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Summer 2001. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the visual depiction of mountain scenery in Snowdonia by artists, writers, illustrators and photographers from 1750 onwards. The scenery became associated with particular visual aesthetics. These are the topographical, the classical, the picturesque and the sublime. Its fundamental point is to demonstrate how these identities became established via a process of vision and revision. This study demonstrates the extensive range of visual material that has hitherto remained unknown. It is essentially a history of the mountain landscape of Snowdonia from the artist's point of view. Chapter one introduces four aesthetic categories that have been applied to this mountain scenery. The second chapter examines the role that Richard Wilson played in the visual establishment of Snowdonia and discusses how his painting came to serve the needs of the Welsh landed gentry and how, in the late twentieth century, this imagery is still being used in the promotion of north Wales. Chapter three examines the topographical aesthetic in relation to Dolbadarn Castle and Snowdon and demonstrates how this early viewpoint has predominantly retained its topographical status. Chapter four discusses Snowdon from Capel Curig and examines the classical identities that have been applied to this view from its first appearance at the Royal Academy in 1787 to its photographic appropriation in contemporary tourist literature. Chapter five examines the picturesque viewpoint of the Pont Aberglaslyn in connection with the tour guide literature, first recorded in the late 1770s but now ceased.
