About the Item
Frederick Rondel (American 1826-1892) A Large, Rare Painting of "Four Horses", 1866
A magnificent and rare oval painting of horses, oil on board, measuring 52" in diameter, with exceptional quality to detail of the horses and landscape.
It is indeed very rare for an American artist to paint horses in this quality and size, thus making this painting an extremely important and rare work of art. Most probably one of his best paintings he ever created.
Signed and dated F. Rondel 1866
Frederick Rondel, born in Paris in 1826, came to America and is best remembered as the only art teacher of Winslow Homer. He was also a successful landscape and marine painter who painted extensively throughout New England and as far as San Francisco. Among his paintings were views of the Hudson River.
Rondel's New England landscapes and paintings of New York City were ultimately influenced by the romanticism of his teachers in Paris, Theodore Gudin and Auguste Jugelet.
It is known that in 1855 to 1857 Rondel was in Boston, having arrived from Europe, and one year later was in South Malden, Massachusetts, while concurrently keeping a New York City studio.
Very good condition, recently professionally cleaned, no damages noted. Fantastic quality, ready to hang.

Frederick Rondel
Frederick Rondel was a well-known and prolific painter of American landscapes, as well as a teacher of numerous artists, both male and female. Rondel worked in New England, especially in the Newport area as well as the Hudson River Valley and as far south as Richmond, Virginia. He was proficient in oil and watercolor painting and specialized in atmospherically-rendered landscape and marine pictures and figurative subjects. Born in Paris in 1826, Rondel began his art career as a student initially under the direction of Théodore Gudin and then, Auguste Jugelet, both romantic marine and landscape painters. In 1855, Rondel arrived in the United States, and began his American art career in Boston, before moving to South Malden, Massachusetts in 1858. He simultaneously maintained a studio in New York City as well. In 1860, Rondel decided to reside permanently in New York City, soon becoming an associate member of the prestigious National Academy of Design. To broaden his training, Rondel traveled to Europe, staying for six years before returning to the United States in 1868 to accept a teaching position at the National Academy. At the National Academy, Rondel’s most famous student was Winslow Homer. Homer attended the National Academy early in his career and took painting classes with Rondel, who is attributed with teaching him how to use oils. French by birth and artistic training, Rondel is considered one of the top American painters. He skillfully combines broad, deep perspective with clear, subtle light and his landscapes and marine paintings reflect the romanticism of Gudin and Jugelet. Most importantly the subjects of his paintings are distinctly American; including portraits, animals, New York City and the New England countryside.
