About the Item
This superb Post Impressionist London landscape oil painting is by noted Slade School trained artist Bertram Nicholls. Painted in 1951 and with excellent provenance, the location is Vauxhall Bridge, a Grade II listed steel and granite deck arch bridge in central London. It crosses the River Thames in a southeast–northwest direction between Vauxhall on the south bank and Pimlico on the north bank. Opened in 1906, it replaced an earlier bridge, originally known as Regent Bridge but later renamed Vauxhall Bridge, built between 1809 and 1816 as part of a scheme for redeveloping the south bank of the Thames. The bridge was built at a location in the river previously served by a ferry. This is a stunning Post Impressionist 1950's oil painting of the Thames and Vauxhall Bridge and surroundings with great brushwork and style and is an excellent example of Nicholls' work.

Bertram Nicholls (1883–1974). Landscape painter, especially in oil, whose pictures owe much, according to his biographer Frank Rutter, to “diligent study of our own eighteenth-century masters”, having an old-fashioned stillness and high degree of finish. Born in Didsbury, Manchester, Nicholls studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, 1901–4, although he said that it took him some years to unlearn much of what he had been taught there. In 1904 went to Madrid and devoted several months to study of Velasquez, and on his return studied with Fred W Jackson in Yorkshire. Disillusioned with modern art ideas in London, went to Montreuil in 1911 where he met his wife who introduced him to Frank Mura, who painted in Sussex where Nicholls settled, and who “initiated him into the secrets of finer craftsmanship” of the earlier Dutch painters. First exhibited at RA in 1912, afterwards regularly. During World War I was enrolled in Kite Balloon Service of Royal Flying Corps and made panoramic drawings in France. After the war made extensive research into methods used by Sir Joshua Reynolds and technique of Richard Wilson. His painting Drying the Sails was bought by Tate Gallery in 1921, his first public recognition. Nicholls exhibited widely in Britain and abroad, having first one-man show at Barbizon House in 1924. Work in many public galleries. Was president of MAFA, 1921–31 and of RBA, 1931–47. Lived at Steyning, Sussex, and died in Worthing. Artists in Britain Since 1945 by David Buckman

Pluie a Venice (Venice in the Rain)
By André Hambourg
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
Pluie a Venice is painted in Hambourg's preferred palette of muted blue-green, grey, and gold with splashes of ruby red, deep blue, and emerald green. The soft colors work well for beach scenes and rainy days such as the ones portrayed in this painting. The impressionistic scene shows multiple pedestrians strolling down the boardwalk, shielding themselves from the rain with colorful umbrellas that provide pops of color and balance the overcast sky.
The background contains a three-masted ship and Piazza San Marco's famous bell tower and Basilica. Hambourg uses the minimum number of brushstrokes necessary to portray ships, seagulls, buildings and people as well as reflections on the glistening sidewalk. The brushstrokes in the sky have an interesting texture that is controlled yet carefree and there is heavy impasto throughout. His portrayal is both realistic and romanticized.
Hambourg was clearly influenced by the great Impressionist artists of earlier generations, perhaps none more than the one with a direct connection to his family. Hambourg's wife, Nicole Rachet, was born into a family with a large collection of works by Impressionist master Eugene Boudin. Rachet's grandfather was a contemporary and friend of Boudin's, and a collector of his work. In their later years, Hambourg and Rachet donated over 300 canvases by Boudin and other artists to the Eugene Boudin Museum in Honfleur, France. It was such a large and important gift that the collection bears...
