A major painting by artist LS Lowry, hidden in private hands for more than half a century, has sold in Yorkshire for more than £1m.
- is described as one of the finest examples of his rare large-scale seascapes, featuring just sea and sky in a"distinctive" five-colour palette., art experts at the Leyburn auction house said, and he became deeply attached to the view.
The painting captures his"extraordinary" skill in manipulating the palette, they said, so that what at first glance may appear monochrome soon shows a"deft use of colour".Charlotte Conboy, Head of Pictures at Tennants Auctioneers. is pictured with the The North Sea, an important seascape by Laurence Stephen Lowry, at Tennants Auctioneers, Leyburn
"Lowry worked up his paintings over many months, gradually adding layer upon layer to create a texture and tone of great complexity and depth that draws the viewer in." It was from the 1940s that he began to paint"pure" seascapes, featuring nothing but sea and sky. It is these rarer works, art experts said, that capture a sense of the coast's allure.
