About the Item

This striking American impressionist oil on canvas harbor scene entitled “Sails Up” features colorful boats and figures by well-known Dutch / American artist Anthony Thieme. Signed in lower lefthand corner. “Anthony Thieme 1888 –1954 was a landscape and marine painter and a major figure of the Rockport, MA School of American regional art. Born in Rotterdam, Thieme studied there at the Academie of Fine Arts for two years and then, briefly, at the Royal Academy, the Hague. He traveled widely in Europe, frequently finding work as a stage designer. Thieme traveled to the United States at the age of 22. He quickly found work as a stage designer at the Century Theater in New York, designing sets for the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. When the commission ended, he traveled to Brazil and Argentina. Stage work again provided his livelihood. A return to Europe followed with further work in England, France, and Italy. Returning to the United States with a contract for additional stage work, Thieme found himself in Boston. He discontinued work on the stage in 1928 and from then on made his living with the sales of his paintings and etchings. In 1929 he moved to Rockport, MA. where he established the Thieme School of Art. He exhibited his work frequently at the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York. Measurement include 3.50 inch gold gilt wooden frame. The label on the back is from Grand Central Art Galleries 1923-1994. It was a large New York City based art gallery.
