About the Item

Date: 1928 Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 30.00" x 40.00" Signature: Signed Upper Right Ladies' Home Journal, Vol. 45 no.11 N. C. Wyeth, the patriarch of the legendary Wyeth family, is the most famous student of Howard Pyle. He was noted for his heroic, masculine figures and scenes, his wonderful sense of color and light, and outstanding composition. His early work emphasized western subjects that are extremely valuable, as are his historic illustrations for Treasure Island and The Deerslayer, among other classics. His works hang in many museums. Until 1930, all of his paintings were oil on canvas, after which he changed to oil on gesso board to achieve more vivid colors. This large 1928 painting was a story illustration in Ladies Home Journal and shows a dramatic moment in the lives of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, who played the courtier’s role of currying favor with the Queen through flattery and flirtation, despite being 34 years her junior. This scene shows Essex entering the Queen’s dressing chamber unannounced, with her thin grey hair exposed, before she put on one of her wigs or painted her face. She never forgave him. Ultimately, he was arrested and convicted of treason for leading a rebellion and attempting to seize control of the City of London. He was beheaded at the Tower of London on February 25,1601. Provenance: Titus C. Geesey, Wilmington, Delaware, to 1964.From the Collection of The Wilmington Institute Library, Wilmington, Delaware.EXHIBITED:(possibly) The Wilmington Society of the Fine Arts annual exhibition 1929, catalogue number 15 as 'Elizabeth Queen of England'.

Teller 3

By Frank Arnold

Located in Fresno, CA

"Teller 3" Oil on Canvas presents a singular form and background in varying shades of green, blue, yellow and white and eart tones. Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
