About the Item

Romanticism movement is well maintained here by Benedikt Franz Hess (1817-1870), Swiss / American, a painter of panoramic landscapes in a detailed transcriptive yet broadly painted style. Idyllic sunset landscape was painted in 1840s in Switzerland. This landscape of the Unidentified Valley concurs with the pastoral tradition, depicting a peaceful scene of meadows and fields bathed in a soft, golden light, and framed by trees that also create a winding movement toward the horizon. Size app.: 25 x 32.7 cm (roughly 9.8 x 12.9 in), frame 34.3 x 42 cm (roughly 13.5 x 16.5 in). Very Good ready to hang well conserved condition with only noticeable craquelure, age wear, canvas relined. Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 1.2 kg is going to measure some 3 kg packed for shipment. Benedikt Franz Hess was born in Paris and began his career in Switzerland, studying with the Swiss landscapist Charles Louis Guigon. By 1852 he had immigrated to the United States; that year he exhibited seven paintings at the American Art Union in New York. While one of the paintings was a view near Geneva, Switzerland, the titles and descriptions of the others indicate that he traveled widely in New York state, painting in Deposit and Middleport, and rendering the Hudson River north of Newburgh, and the rapids of Niagara.
