English 20th century portrait of an English Frigate in full sail at sea in oils.

Circa 1980

About the Item

English 20th century portrait of an English Frigate in full sail at sea in oils. A very well painted oil on canvas with great detail of a ship cutting through the sea at I'm sure great speed. The piece is an oil on canvas with I think gouache added to the waves to make them a brighter white. The piece is signed Mason and with some investigation, we are attributing this painting to the talented English painter Barry Mason who is a marine painting specialist. He often painted single ships with great detail, and this observation to detail is seen in this piece. Through contacting the expert on F.H.Mason. he put forward the attribution of the piece possibly being the work of Barry Mason. This would also be backed up by my restorer. When the painting was sent to be cleaned my restorer concluded the painting is only between 30 and 50 years old, though the style of the boat and skill in the painting would make the viewer believe it's older..! The piece is oil on canvas and it is framed in a vintage English mahogany frame.

    Located in Madrid, ES
    JOSÉ VILLEGAS CORDERO Spanish, 1844 - 1921 BEFORE THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM signed "Villegas" (lower left) oil on canvas 12-1/4 x 17-1/4 inches (31.1 x 43.7 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collector, Seville, Spain José Villegas Cordero (Seville, August 26, 1844-Madrid, November 9, 1921) was a Spanish painter. He directed the Prado Museum between 1901 and 1918. He was the brother of the painter Ricardo Villegas Cordero. He began his apprenticeship very young with José María Romero, with whom he remained for two years until entering the School of Fine Arts in Seville, where he was under the tutelage of Eduardo Cano. In 1860, when he was only 16 years old, he sold his work Little Philosophy for 2,000 reais at the Seville Exhibition. In 1867 he traveled to Madrid, where he entered Federico Madrazo's studio. There he established friendship with painters Eduardo Rosales and Fortuny. He went regularly to the Prado where he copied Velázquez, from whom he acquired spontaneity and the use of color for his technique. Finally, and out of admiration for Fortuny's orientalist painting, he returned to Seville and organized an excursion to Morocco. At the end of 1868 he decided to travel to Rome accompanied by the painters Rafael Peralta and Luis Jiménez Aranda...
