Thomas Hill (California/Ma.)
Seascape Oil Painting |
Fine oil on canvas seascape
painting by famous artist Thomas Hill (1829-1908).
Immigrating from England in 1844, Thomas Hill came to America with his
family as a youngster, and became one of America's most famous 19th-century
landscape painter. Hill
studied art in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy, and his first
intentions were to become a history painter. However, he changed to landscape when he
spent time in Europe, especially France among the Barbizon painters and in
the studio of Paul Meyerheim. During the 1870s and 1880s, his work brought high prices, but
diminished with the increasing popularity of modernism. In the latter half of the 20th
century, his work was rediscovered, and he is now considered one of the major
figures in American art. He
settled with his family in Taunton, Massachusetts and worked in Boston with a
carriage maker. He studied with
Peter Rothermel at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and painted in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire with George Inness, Virgil Williams, Albert
Bierstadt, and his brother, Edward Hill. He hit his artistic stride in California during the 1870s, beginning
with his first grandiose painting, The Yosemite Valley, which was published
as a chromolithograph by Prang. With Frederic Whymper, Hill was a founding member of the San Francisco
Art Association, and in 1873, he became a member of the Bohemian Club, a
men's organization dedicated to cultural enhancement. Hill's paintings continued to
bring higher prices in the 1870s, and he was a wealthy man by 1878. Soon thereafter, however, hard times
fell upon the artist, as they did on the San Francisco economy and art market
in general. He struggled through
the next decade, moving back and forth to paint in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire, and his beloved Yosemite Valley in California. During these years he was still
acclaimed but experienced increasing financial distress. Also his marriage was not happy, which
led him to spend more and more time in Yosemite. Hill's fortunes continued to vacillate
until 1896 when he suffered the first of a series of strokes from which he
never fully recovered. He died in
1908, and it is believed that his death was by suicide. Signed lower left. Oakland Museum tag
on back of frame Sight – 11 ½” x 17 ½”.

Wesley E. Webber (MA/CA/ME) Oil
Painting |
Large oil on canvas of lake
scene with fishermen in boats by Wesley Elbridge Weber (1841-1914). Landscape and marine painter Wesley
Webbr was born in Gardiner, Maine and died in Wollaston, Massachusetts in
November 1914. He lived in Boston
from 1870 to 1890 and lived in New York City from 1892 and was
self-taught. He is considered one
of the finer landscape painters who painted from life in the Conway area of
New Hampshire and along the New England coast, and he is reminiscent of the
Hudson River School in style and manner. Webber shared a Boston studio in Pemberton Square and then shared a
Boston studio with marine painter William P. Stubbs (1876-) and kept other
studios in New York City until his death. Every summer he went to Conway, New
Hampshire to paint the hillside, where painters JOhn J. Enneking, Frank
Shapleigh, and others joined him to paint. Two of his most famous paintings are
"Kennebec River" and "Maine Boat Shop and Unidentified Vessels
Ice-bound at Gloucester" (both at the Peabody Museum, Salem, MA). He is also represented int eh
permanent collections of the Boston Athenaeum, New York Public Library, the
Brooklyn Museum, Portland Museum of Art (Maine), and elsewhere. Housed in original frame. 18" x 30". |
