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...

"Julie Hyneman at Central Park, New York City, " Herman Hyneman, Gilded Age
Located in New York, NY
Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907)
Julie Hyneman at Central Park
Oil on canvas
25 x 20 inches
Signed lower left
Herman N. Hyneman was a noted American portrait and figure painter with ties to both Philadelphia and New York. He was born July 27,1849 to Leon and Adeline Hyneman in Philadelphia. ("Who Was Who in American Art" lists his birth date as either 1849 or 1859, but we have confirmed that the birth date is 1849).
Virtually nothing is known about his early years, but given the fact that the family resided in a wealthy section of Philadelphia and the fact that he traveled to Paris to study in the studio of Leon Bonnat when he was but 20 years old, it is presumed that the family was financially comfortable if not well to do. Hyneman exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879 and 1881, which was quite an accomplishment given his tender age.
He returned to the United States in 1882 and after a year in Philadelphia, he established a studio at 58 West 57th Street, New York, NY, where he painted portraits to support himself and scenes of beautiful fair-skinned women walking in the snow to exhibit at major exhibitions throughout the United States.
Hyneman exhibited at the the Brooklyn Art Association in 1882, 1883 and 1884 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1883 and 1888. Beginning in 1882 and continuing up until 1905, he exhibited regularly at the National Academy of Design. Despite the fact that he exhibited fourteen paintings at the National Academy over a span of three different decades, he was never elected as a member.
In the 1880's his paintings sold for between $100 and $1500, which were substantial sums for that period. Hyneman also exhibited at the Salmagundi Club and the Philadelphia Art Club and was a member of each organization. He won a medal at the American Art Society in 1904 and also exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. A handwritten label on one of his paintings indicates that he also exhibited in Budapest, Hungary.
In 1892, Hyneman married the noted artist Juliet Jolley (aka Jolly), who had previously modeled for him. Thereafter, they shared a studio and on at least one occasion exhibited together. The February 5, 1896 edition of the "New York Times" reported on a "pleasant studio reception" at 58 West 57th Street where the paintings of both Herman and Juliet were shown to members of New York Society including Mr. And Mrs. Edwin Blashfield.
At least one of Hyneman's Painting " A Sensation on Wall Street" which depicted a lovely young woman in fur coat with Muff in front of the Stock Exchange, was made into a post card and reproductions of his paintings are known to exist, although not plentiful. At least one etching is known, "Desdemona," which was reproduced in a book by Frederic Stokes.

Literature:

A painter, etcher, and expert on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American art, Albert Rosenthal studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Munich, and in Paris with Jean-Léon Gérôme. Although his paintings consist mostly of portraits-many depicting historically important American political and military figures-he also rendered modern life images in the realist mode of the Ashcan School, such as Millinery. The subject in this painting tries on one of the large Duchess-style hats popular in the early 1910s, choosing it over the bonnet displayed on the table. Her considered decision-making reflects the importance women once placed on their hats, as statements of social status. (Degas, Manet, and Pissarro also painted this subject.) In 1919, Rosenthal's Millinery was illustrated in Vogue magazine with the caption: "A clever bit of work, spontaneous and vivid and handled with a light sure touch was 'Millinery.'" Rosenthal exhibited the work in the following year with the title In Seal and Sable and gifted it to the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1924, after its inclusion in the museum's annual exhibition.
Albert Rosenthal was born in Philadelphia in 1863 and was known as a painter, etcher and lithographer. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art under his father Max Rosenthal...

"Game of Chess" Louis Charles Moeller, Victorian Gentlemen Conversing
Located in New York, NY
Louis Henry Charles Moeller (1855 - 1930)
Game of Chess
Oil on canvas
8 x 10 inches
Titled, and inscribed "...By Louis Muller [sic], N.A." on the stretcher
A native of New York, Louis Henri Moeller became one of America's foremost anecdotal genre painters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A favorite subject was distinguished elderly men going about everyday activities in gentile interior settings that reflected Victorian tastes.
He was the son of a decorative painter and was initially taught by his father and then attended classes at the National Academy of Design. For six years, he studied in Munich with Frank Duveneck, Ludwig Lofftz, and Feodor Dietz and during this period was part of a group of American artists emulating 17th century Dutch masters.
Returning to New York, he opened a studio and did decorative painting while developing the genre style for which he is known. He earned the National Academy's Hallgarten Prize for a small painting entitled "Puzzled" and was made an Associate Member.
The genre paintings for which Moeller became known are small in format. Small animated figures vie for the viewer's attention with objects treated almost as independent still-life elements. The objects are often "objects de...
