An Italianate wooded Landscape with the Rest on the Flight

Very few works are known by the Irish artist Hugh Primrose Dean, who early in his career may have studied under John Butts (1730-1776). Apart from two pictures which sold through London salerooms in 1922, and Lake Albano, 1778 (see Col. M. H. Grant, A Chronological History of the Old English Landscape Painters, Leigh-on-Sea, 1960, III, no. 189, illustrated), the only other known works by the artist are two engravings, Vallombrosa, near Florence, and the Sepulchre erected to the Memory of the Horatii and Curiatii.
