German 19th Century Original Oil on Canvas by Gustav Konrad Sus

American original oil painting on canvas in contemporary gold frame. This is a portrait of Edward W. Blaisdell (1845-1924) a prominent architect who worked primarily on the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. He designed everything from bridges to summer homes to coastal inns. He designed the Grand Passoconaway Inn in York, Maine, which was the center piece of a resort that had all of the latest innovations of the late 19th century incorporated into its structure.

English original oil painting on canvas "Retrieving the Grog Before the Storm"; signed lower left: Thomas LUNY; and indistinctly dated--only a "2" is discernable. This dramatic painting depicts ships outward bound while smugglers in the foreground heave their small boat to shore while others roll a barrel of grog to safety. The sea is building while the white cliffs and stone fortress at the entrance to a harbor stand firm against the impending storm. This is quintessential Luny, displaying his deft handling of the ocean and the exposition of coastal life in the early 19th century. We have had this painting cleaned, rebacked and restored by Northeast Painting Conservation, York, Maine. Thomas Luny (1759-1837), was born in Cornwall but moved to London at an early age and was raised there by his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas' father is thought to have been employed in some activity at the London Docks and from thence the younger Thomas was exposed to the maritime world from an early age. He is thought to have been apprenticed to the London artist Francis Holman...
