Pennsylvania Farmhouse, American Impressionist Landscape, Watercolor on Paper

"Aesclepius in Foreground" is a 12 x 16 inches watercolor on paper, snowy, winter landscape by American Impressionist painter Arthur Meltzer. Asclepias is the scientific name for milkweed and Arthur Meltzer's title appears to be a play on words with "Aesclepius", the Greek god. The painting is titled on verso, signed twice "Arthur Meltzer" in the lower center and lower right, framed and matted under glass. Provenance: Private collection, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Born in 1893 to Lithuanian emigrants Louis E. and Cecelia Fineberg Meltzer in 1893, Arthur Meltzer (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1893 - 1989) learned the skills he would use as an adult to craft frames and furniture at an early age. He apprenticed as a young man at the Ford and McNutt Stained Glass Company, where he stayed for six years, until he enlisted in the Army to serve in World War I. After his two-year service in the Army, Meltzer traveled to Philadelphia, and in 1919 he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He studied under Daniel Garber, Hugh Breckenridge, and Arthur B. Carles and was awarded the prestigious William E. Cresson Traveling Scholarship. He met his future wife, Paulette Van Roekens, at the Philadelphia School...
