"Alfred Daniels was born in London's East End in 1924. In the late 1940's he studied at the Royal College of Art, London.
As a young graduate he toured Florence, Venice, Ravenna and Siena where he was deeply impressed by the Italian Primitives. His award winning murals (1952-54) at Hammersmith Town Hall depicting life on the Thames are regarded as a modern classic.
An example of his early painting rightly compared to the work of the great American artist Ben Shahn, was included in a recent survey of 1950's British paintings at London's Barbican Centre.
He was elected a member of The Royal Watercolour Society in 1973, The Royal Society of British Artists in 1983 and elected Keeper of The Royal Society in 1991."
This is a charming piece and on the reverse of the painting Alfred Daniels has written: "St Nicholas, The First Brick Church, Nottingham.
Painted in the late 1980s, it is sized 16 x 13.5 inches incl frame (41 x 34 cm). Acrylic on Board. Frame it came in isn't the greatest, in my opinion, so I would suggest reframing.
Condition: as per scans below.
