About the Item

Laurent Lucien GSELL Picture Size: 19.5 x 24" (48.75 x 60cm) Outside Frame Size : 26.5 x 31 (66.25 x 77.5cm) Free Shipping This is a wonderful example of Gsell's impressionist work. With rich deep Mediterranean colours and bold broad brushstrokes it shows an artist full of confidence and understanding of his genre. Gsell was born on the 19th November 1860 in Paris where he died in 1944. He was not an artist who was tied down to any specific medium or subject and as a consequence his art work is very varied covering all genres from traditional oils to illustrations and beyond. In time he has been remembered for his portrayal of portraits, landscapes, genre and Arab scenes. Originally from Switzerland, he studied under his father Caspar Gsell, and then Cabanel at the School of Arts in Paris. Gsell exhibited in Paris from 1882 until 1908 at the Salon of French Artists and was made a member of in 1893. From 1909 until 1920 he exhibited at the Dalon de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts. In the Paris l’Exposition Universelle of 1889 he received a mention for his work.

  • Fishing and Sailing Boats at the Jetty
    By Gyrth Russell
    Located in St. Albans, GB
    GYRTH RUSSELL 1892 - 1970 Picture Size: 30 x 24" (76 x 61cm) Outside Frame Size: 38 x 32" (97 x 82cm) Signed bottom left Oil on canvas The canvas is in very good condition and the painting has benefited from a light clean and a varnish. Considered one of the best coastal painters of the 20th century, Gyrth Russell was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in April 1892. At the age of fourteen, Russell began his artistic career at Halifax School of Art, and quickly graduated to the School of Art at Boston, Massachusetts. His first job was as a draughtsman in the Public Works Department of Canada, in Halifax. It was during this period he saw and sketched the cable ship Mackay Bennett returning to her Halifax Station, her decks piled high with coffins containing bodies found after the Titanic Disaster. In 1911 Russell left Canada to study at the Academie Julian and Academie Calorossi in Paris. In 1914 at the outbreak of War, he left France for London where he was commissioned, under the command of Lord Beaverbrook, as an official War Artist for the Canadian Sector, and spent most of 1918 in Northern France painting the landscapes and coasts travelled by the Canadian military during the conflict. During the course of the First World War he worked with amongst others, Augustus John, William Orpen & Frank Brangwyn, who greatly influenced him. Russell enjoyed considerable success between the Wars, exhibiting extensively at the major galleries, and was elected to membership of the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Painters n Watercolours, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Society of Marine Artists as well as being an active member of the Langham...
