'Evening Light on Table Mountain' - James Yates

Dimensions: 51 x 76 cm (20 x 30 inches)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Absorbing the radiant warmth of a Cape Town sunset, 'Evening Light on Table Mountain' is a magnificent original oil painting by the renowned artist James Yates. This masterfully composed work captures the iconic silhouette of the Mother City from across the bay, bathed in the soft, golden hues of the receding day. The generous canvas measures 51 cm (Height) x 76 cm (Width).

The composition is beautifully anchored by the textured sand dunes in the foreground, where the low-angled sun carves deep, rhythmic shadows into the earth and highlights the hardy coastal fynbos. Yates’s mastery of oil on canvas is brilliantly displayed in the middle ground, where rhythmic turquoise waves tipped with white foam roll towards the shore. Beyond the surf, the legendary plateau of Table Mountain and the sharp peak of Lion's Head dominate the horizon, rendered in soft violets and warm ochres.

A dramatic sky, filled with long, horizontal clouds tinted with peach and pale yellow, reflects the quiet transition into twilight. The artist’s precise brushwork and sophisticated palette perfectly convey the unique atmospheric light that makes the Cape coastline so legendary. This exceptional James Yates oil painting is a premier example of contemporary South African landscape art, perfect for collectors who appreciate realistic detail, a profound sense of place, and the enduring majesty of Table Mountain.
