1877. He was first taught by his father, the highly regarded landscape painter, Alfred De Breanski, Sr. He then studied at the St. Martin’s School of Painting under Cecil Rae. A trip to Paris offered De Breanski the opportunity of working with Whistler, from whom he gained a great deal of inspiration.

De Breanski first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1904. He was a frequent exhibitor there for many years, showing his Scottish, Italian and English landscapes.

The artist died in 1957.
