About the Item

Born in Lower Austria in 1844, Rudolf Bernt was a painter and architect. He studied at the Vienna Technical University as an architect, and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Carl Roesner and Eduard van der Nüll. Beginning in 1870 he worked in Otto Wagner 's studio. Otto Wagner (1841- 1918) was an Austrian architect, furniture designer and urban planner. He was a leading member of the Vienna Secession movement of architecture, founded in 1897, and the broader Art Nouveau movement. In 1884 Bernt became a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus. Bernt was involved in numerous works by Otto Wagner. He developed into a recognized draftsman and ornamentist. From the 1890s he worked mainly as a watercolorist. His motifs were typical vedute, precisely rendered views of a known site, such as the vedute Canaletto executed in Venice. Bernt's most wellknown work as an architect is the Georg Coch monument on Georg Coch Square in Vienna. The watercolor without the frame measures 8" x 11 3/4".

"Venice, 1906, " Italy, Warren W. Sheppard, Realist, Oil, Gondola, Canal
By Warren W. Sheppard
Located in Wiscasset, ME
Marine painter Warren W. Sheppard was born in Greenwich, New Jersey, to a ship captain father who instilled in his son a love and respect for the sea. He studied privately with Mauritz F. H. De Haas and took courses in drawing at Cooper Union in New York City. He traveled along the Mediterranean coast in 1879, sketching the ports of Naples, Gibraltar, Genoa and Messina. Sheppard’s foreign tours continued between 1888 and 1893, with stays in Paris and Venice, where he captured the architecture and busy canals of the Floating City. This fondness for travel also translated to his home country. He sailed along the East Coast from New Jersey to Maine in search of subjects and was an expert navigator, eventually writing the book Practical Navigation. Yacht design became a second career for Sheppard and he participated in a number of sailing competitions himself, most notably winning the New York-to-Bermuda race twice while skipper of the Tamerlane. Sheppard exhibited at the Denver Exposition, Chicago Exposition...
