Original Description
Mildred Anne Butler’s Varenna, Lake Como is a captivating watercolour that whisks viewers to the serene shores of Italy’s iconic Lake Como. Painted in the late 19th or early 20th century, this work embodies Butler’s mastery of light and atmosphere, blending the delicate spontaneity of English watercolour traditions with an Impressionistic sensitivity to natural beauty. The scene unfolds with soft, luminous washes—azure waters mirroring the sky, verdant hills dotted with rustic villas, and perhaps a glimpse of Varenna’s charming shoreline. Butler, an acclaimed Irish artist, was celebrated for her plein air compositions, and this piece exemplifies her ability to distill the essence of a landscape with graceful economy. Though less widely known than her male contemporaries, her contributions to British watercolour painting are significant, offering a distinctly feminine, introspective take on travel and nature that resonated with the era’s growing appreciation for intimate, atmospheric landscapes.
For modern interiors, Varenna, Lake Como would elevate a space seeking tranquility and understated elegance. Ideal for a sunlit study, a bedroom, or a spa-like bathroom, its soothing blues and greens harmonize with organic textures like linen, pale wood, or rattan. Frame it in a slim, gilt-edged frame to enhance its classic charm, or opt for a minimalist white floater frame for a contemporary twist. Given its likely medium size (typical of Butler’s watercolours), it could anchor a vignette above a writing desk or pair symmetrically with smaller botanical prints. In an office, its calming palette would counterbalance stark modern furniture, while in a traditional setting, it would nod to European Grand Tour nostalgia. For colour cohesion, pull its aquatic hues into cushions or a muted area rug, allowing the artwork to feel both intentional and effortlessly timeless.
