About the Item
A striking, 19th Century landscape in oil showing the impressive Yosemite valley with an imposing view of El Capitan. A group of Yosemite Indians have set up camp on the grassy plains of the valley, with wigwams and a campfire. This impressively sized painting shows an important view of the landmark around the time President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Valley Grant Act, Senate Bill 203, on June 30, 1864. The legislation gave California the Yosemite Valley and the nearby Mariposa Big Tree Grove “upon the express conditions that the premises shall be held for public use, resort, and recreation.” The legislation was passed after the Native Indians of Yosemite had been exiled from their Motherland. The painting is unsigned and presented in a 20th Century tarnished gilt effect frame with swept rail and corners with floral and acanthus leaf detailing. The canvas has been fully re-lined. On re-lined canvas.

- Etching - Morning Ride (hand-painted etching) - newBy Cuca RomleyLocated in Los Angeles, CAA beautiful handcolored etching of a morning ride in Upstate New York. Gallery curates a series of original etchings from respected European artist and ex-New Yorker, Cuca Romley. Ms Romley is in her eighties, and currently based in Spain after spending decades in New York City. She was trained at The École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), a distinguished National School of Fine Arts in Paris, France. The artist won several noted awards for her art in her native Spain, and in Paris, France. She worked as an artist and also had a career in advertising, illustration and interior design, in Spain, France and New York. As an artist, she has had solo and group exhibitions first Paris, France, Monaco, Japan, Spain and the US. ETCHINGS Cuca Romley’s etchings of both famous and little places around the world are depicted with a remarkable attention to detail, a style that belies her sophisticated sense of line and color. These etchings capture a bygone era of a city in flux, and a snap shot of a classic image of a place. Each plate is etched with patience and a thoroughness reminiscence of the earlier days of engraving, in exquisite and fine detail. Romley creates her intricate design on the etching ground that covers the copper plate. After the acid has etched the lines into the copper plate she engraves the details into the plate with a buril until the image is completed. For each individual print a master printer must ink the plate and wipe the surface clean. The plate is placed on the bed of the press and the previously wet French Arches paper 100% cotton covering the plate to pass through the press, and that completes the printing process. After the printing ink has dried for a couple of days, the etching is ready for the hand coloring by the artist. There are often more than 30 colors in one of Romley’s images. Each print can take up to 6 hours to color; these colors impart a subtle transparent effect that compliments the delicacy of the line. Every etching in the limited edition is then signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. On CMF Fabiano paper. Size specified is the size of the copper plate, I.e. the image size.
