PAINTING |
Victor
Casenelli (Cincinnati, OH & Michigan, 1867-1961) of sheep, 11" h x
17" oil on canvas. Signed lower right "V. Casnelli",
painting was probably done in Cincinnati where he spelled his name Casnelli,
later he spelled his name Casenelli.
Victor Casenelli born in New York City came to Cincinnati in the
1880s. His association with
Cincinnati's western artists such as Henry Farny inspired him to turn his
attention to western subjects. After
twelve years in Cincinnati he moved to Muskegon, Michigan in 1905. Among one of his many accomplishments, he
painted murals for former President William H. Taft. Well listed artist. Excellent original
condition in original gold leaf frame. |
