Leon Kroll Art

American, 1884-1974
Leon Kroll (1884-1974) was one of this country’s most productive and successful artists of the 20th century. A well-regarded teacher and the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions during his life time. Kroll was born in New York City and studied at the Art Students League under John Twatchman and at the National Academy of Design. Between 1908 and 1910, Kroll studied in Paris at the Académie Julian; during these years, Kroll discovered Paul Cezanne, the influences of whom are readily apparent his work. Upon returning to America, Kroll’s work was exhibited in 1913 at the Amory Show. By the 1920s he had begun teaching, at the National Academy of Design and at the Art Institute of Chicago. During the 1930s, Leon Kroll and his wife Genevieve (whom he had met in France) began spending time in Gloucester’s Folly Cove neighborhood, not far from the Babson Farm Quarry (known today as Halibut Point). He became a central figure in Cape Ann’s summer art colony for many years. Kroll is represented in the permanent collections at the Corcoran Gallery of Art; PAFA; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art; Art Institute of Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Dayton and many more.

Rare Baltimore Harbor Oil Painting, Pratt Street Dock, ca 1950 - Rosalie Hamblin
Located in Baltimore, MD
This lively oil painting depicts Baltimore’s busy waterfront, specifically the former piers that lined Pratt Street in the Inner Harbor. Painted by local artist Rosalie Mills ( née Hamblin), the scene depicts the watermelon boats that berthed near Pier 5. The painting dates to the 1950’s. The historic buildings that once lined Pratt Street, before urban renewal clearance of the 1960’s, provide the background for the scene. Hamblin’s attention to detail is quite good and calls to mind other Baltimore painters...

Impressionist mid century view of Hammersmith Bridge over the Thames London
Located in Woodbury, CT
Pietro Sansalvadore was active during the early to middle of the 20th century. He painted in an Impressionist manner and on a small scale. Acquiring a late 19th-century Impressionist painting of Hammersmith Bridge by the Italian painter Pietro Sansalvadore is an opportunity to own a captivating piece of art that transcends both time and cultural boundaries. Sansalvadore's unique perspective, influenced by the Impressionist movement, infuses this painting with a luminous quality that captures the atmospheric essence of Hammersmith Bridge in a way that only a skilled artist with an international perspective could achieve. This masterpiece not only showcases the artist's mastery in capturing light and movement but also represents a harmonious fusion of Italian artistic sensibilities with the iconic English landmark. The play of colors and the subtle brushstrokes transport the viewer to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the allure and dynamism of that period. Owning this painting is not just acquiring a visual delight; it's investing in a historical and cultural artifact...
