About the Item

Well executed oil on canvas by Danish-American artist Einar Petersen (1895-1986) This dock scene titled “Monterrey Harbor” is in excellent condition. It measures 22 x 19 inches and is signed lower left. It is also signed & titled on the verso. The work bears a handsome period frame measuring 28 x 25. The canvas is 22 x 19. The artist spent quite a few years in California. This beautiful harbor scene could have been painted in any number of beautiful seaside cities. Painter & muralist, Einar Petersen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1885. Petersen served an art apprenticeship in his native city. A scholarship from the Danish Government allowed him to study art for several years in Paris, Rome, and Munich. He immigrated to America in 1912 and worked his way across the country painting decorative panels in Nebraska, Oregon, and Washington. Petersen painted perhaps 20 murals in such widely separated cities as San Francisco, Spokane, Omaha, Honolulu and Manila. The walls of some 20 buildings in downtown Los Angeles served as his canvases. He settled in Los Angeles in 1916 and died there in 1986.

Oil Painting from 1937 Harbor View by Carles Bisschops, Oil on Panel
Located in Casteren, Noord-Brabant
Beautiful and vivid painting, oil paint on panel. The painting shows a picturesque harbor on the French Mediterranean. This work is by the Flemish painter Charles-Louis Bisschops (Liège, April 25, 1894 - Rossignol, 1975). The painting has a somewhat impressionistic touch and a beautiful use of color. The blue color of the water contrasts nicely with the shady buildings. The painting is framed in a classic wooden gilded frame. On the back of the painting is an old label stating that the painting was painted in the French port of Ferrier (near Marseille on the Mediterranean). The painting is clearly signed and dated 1937. Charles Bisschops has his own Wikipedia page, information about this: Charles Bisschops was a Belgian painter, graphic artist and draftsman. He was a student at the Academy of Brussels from 1912 to 1919. The main professors were Jean Delville and Constant Montald.
