Located in Soquel, CA
Portrait of a Italian woman by American impressionist painter David Rosenthal (American, 1876-1949), c. 1900. Estate stamp on verso. Image, 11"H x 17.5"L.
David Rosenthal was a Cincinnati artist who was known as an American Impressionist. He studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati with Frank Duveneck, Lewis Meakin, and Joseph Henry Sharp. After finishing, Rosenthal traveled to Munich to study with G. Flad and Azbe and exhibited at the Kuenstler Verein. He won a scholarship at the Belle Arts in Rome, became a member of the Cirelo Internationale, and continued his studies at the Academy of Milan in Florence.
During his extended residence in Europe, Rosenthal moved in artistic circles from Munich to Rome. Several European sketchbooks still exist from this time, and show the skillful facility fostered by his academic background. Italian and German landscape scenes figure prominently in his early oils, which are dated around 1890 and designate Italian cities and towns on the back of canvases. Some of his etchings from a later period are probably based on earlier European sketches...

San Francisco Abstract Expression
A free-spirited wave of creative energy swept through the San Francisco art community after World War II. Challenging accepted modes of painting, Abstract Expressionists produced highly experimental works that jolted the public out of its postwar complacency.
Abstract Expressionism resulted from a broad collective impulse rather than the inspiration of a small band of New York artists. Documenting the interchanges between the East and West Coasts, she cites areas of mutual influence and shows the impact of San Francisco on the New York School, including artists such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt.

(Verteillac 1877 - 1957)
The return of the herd
Oil on panel
H. 49.5 cm; L. 80.5 cm
Signed lower left
Provenance: Private collection, Cantal
Born in Verteillac in the heart of the canton of Ribérac, Camille Merlaud remains in the memories of Périgord as an amateur painter and designer, but also a musician. He seems to paint very early since several well-known works date from the 1890s, in a very simple figurative style. It is around the First World War that we know the most Merlaud and his works, mainly made up of Portraits and French trenches. During this period, he was mobilized and joined the front as a sergeant-major, or “music chief”. It will punctuate life behind the trenches by organizing concerts all along the front lines, with several dozen musicians. Enlisted in the territorial of the 93rd regiment of Périgueux, he will also be a nurse during the conflict. Works from this period that the artist regularly donated or sold are regularly found on the art market. Animated by his native country, Camille Merlaud will represent throughout his career the images of the countryside and the souls brought to life. Peasants leading their oxen to plowing or making hay...
