About this work
David Davies became known as the ‘painter of evening effects’ for his images of landscapes illuminated by atmospheric afternoon and evening light. After studying at the National Gallery School, Davies travelled to Paris and permanently relocated to Europe in 1897, moving between southern England and northern France over the next twenty years. In 1926 he had his only solo exhibition in Australia, featuring twenty-one oil paintings and fifty-two watercolours, at Gill’s Fine Art Society Gallery in Melbourne. Most of these works were impressionistic paintings of French landscapes, including Autumn afternoon, which was acquired by the NGV from this exhibition.
