About the Item

A charming depiction of New York City near Central Park, going down 5th Avenue on a chilly evening with city buildings captured in the distance. A cozy impressionistic scene with wonderful use of light and thick textured oil paint. This painting captures the essence of a Central Park walk in Horse and Buggy in the 1960's in NYC. Signed lower right and it comes housed in its original frame, ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso. Art measures 12 x 16 inches Frame measures 17.5 x 21.5 inches Bela de Tirefort was known for his stunning New York scenes, mostly painted on sight, leaving us with an enduring record of the metropolis between the 1930s and ’50s. This piece is an excellent example of his on sight paintings, an iconic scene with beautiful brushwork, thick use of paint and whimsical details. We can feel the atmosphere that the artist has created with many layers of paint and specks of light peaking through the fresh snow. PROVENANCE: Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

"The Lake & Plaza Hotel New York" Impressionist Oil Painting in Central Park
By Johann Berthelsen, 1883-1972
Located in New York, NY
A stunning jewel and pertinent example of Berthelsen's charming New York City scenes. Here we find a The Plaza hotel and the Manhattan buildings depicted in the far background with pops of colors shinning through the lights and magic of the city. The artist was truly a master of capturing New York in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. This piece is signed lower right by the artist and it also bears the reproduction right's stamp on the reverse. It is titled on the back and it comes housed in a beautiful French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 6.5 x 8 inches Frame measures 12 x 14 inches Johann Berthelsen was born in Copenhagen in 1883, the 7th of seven children, to Conrad and Dorothea Karen Berthelsen. His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade. Although he worked in several trades, Johann's mind and heart were always with the arts. As his voice matured, he also always wanted to be an actor, and at the age of 18 moved to Chicago where he reconnected with an old friend who was studying voice at the Chicago Musical...
