Seated Figurative / Ocean Path Landscape - Double Sided Oil Painting

1975

About the Item

Wonderful double-sided oil painting of the artist Jane Voitel Mellin reading a book and also a landscape of an ocean path on verso by Nicholas Read (American), circa 1975. Unsigned. From a collection of the artist Jane Voitel Mellin. Unframed. Image size: 50.5"H x 44"W. This painting was a commission by Jane Voitel Mellin's husband circa 1975 of Jane Voitel Mellin and painted by Nick Read. Nicholas Read is a painter of landscape, still life and portraits. He is a follower of Poussin, Constable, Corot, and Degas. Nick has a BFA in Painting from the UNC Chapel Hill and has taken classes at the SMFA. He is a member of the Copley Society and the Rockport and Marblehead Art Associations. I consider the decision to become a serious painter my most significant artistic accomplishment. It came late, when I was 45. "I started my adult life in 1974 with a BFA from UNC Chapel Hill. I painted here and there through the years of graduate and law school that followed, but once I started a legal career and a family painting took a back seat until 1995, when I made a commitment to start again and to show my work on a regular basis. I exhibited my work for the first time in over 20 years at the Cambridgeport Artists Open Studios, and have done so annually since. I paint consistently in the field and in my home studio, completing approximately 25 paintings a year." Nick Read.

Woman, Yellow Shawl and Fan
Located in Greenwich, CT
An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
