A wonderful seascape painting of a port in Normandy by Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg. The scene shows large ships anchored in the busy harbour as small rowing boats head to shore. Behind them, the dramatic backdrop of the Alabaster Coast with darkening skies above.
Charles Kuwasseg was born at Draveil, Paris in 1838 the son of the Austrian artist Karl (Charles) Joseph Kuwasseg (1802- 1877) and Marie Victoire Lebrun. His uncles Joseph Kuwasseg (1799-1859) and Leopod Kuwasseg (1804-1862) were also artists. His father undoubtedly played an influential role in his artistic development, as like him, he specialised in coastal and marine scenes. He often signed his works ‘C.Kuwasseg fils’ (son), to distinguish himself from his father who was also known as Charles. In 1855, he made his debut at the Paris Salon continuing to regularly exhibit there over the years and winning a bronze medal in 1892. During the early 1860’s he lived at 8 Rue de Strasbourg in Paris.
Kuwasseg specialised in coastal views particularly of the Normandy and Brittany coast. As well as painting views of Northern France, he also spent time travelling around visiting Belgium, Holland and Italy. After returning to France, he continued his artistic studies training under the marine artist Jean-Baptiste Henri Durand-Brager (1814-1879) and Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1767-1855).
As well as continuing to paint and exhibit, he also became a professor of art to students including Marie Joseph Clavel Iwill (1850-1923). He died on 28 October, 1904 at Essonne, France aged 71. A number of his works can be found in museums and collections including the Pontoise, Rouen, Perigueux, Digne, La Rochelle and Montreal Museum.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears an old handwritten label which was most likely from an exhibition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.

- 19th century landscape oil painting of a village tavernBy John Holland SeniorLocated in Moreton-In-Marsh, GloucestershireJohn Holland Snr British, (1830-1886) The Malt Shovel Tavern Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 13 inches x 20.5 inches Size including frame: 18.25 inches x 25.75 inches Provenance: Frost & Reed A wonderful painting of figures sat outside a village inn by John Holland Senior. A wagon is shown delivering supplies as another cart drives off towards a windmill in the distance. In the foreground two people cut a log in half whilst their family looks on. The Malt Shovel Inn was most likely the one at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire. Over 500 years old, it was located on Malt Shovel Lane, and was originally a bakery, becoming an inn sometime during the mid 1700’s. It remained as a pub until its closure in 2016. The windmill in the distance was situated outside Lambourn on the road to Baydon. It was built in 1771 but was demolished around 1887 and is now the site of a farm. John Holland Senior was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes who was born in Nottingham around 1830. He was the son of a painter and brother to Samuel Holland also a painter and sign writer. He was also uncle to his namesake John Holland (1857-1920) whom he taught to work in charcoal and Samuel S. Holland, both of whom were artists. By 1861, he had become a full time artist exhibiting at Suffolk Street from around this time until 1879, at the British Institution between 1865-1866 as well as exhibiting locally in Nottingham. He never married and lived for many years with his father, brother and his family at Vernon Street, Nottingham. Around 1867, he moved to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire where he exhibited locally. He would also often travel around the British countryside and coast to paint. He spent a few years in West Yorkshire but by 1871 had moved back to live with his family in Nottingham. However, he spent his final years living at Trebray Lodge, Tintagel, Cornwall where he died on 7 February 1886. A number of his works are held by the Buxton Museum, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, Nottingham Art Gallery and the Williamson Art Gallery.

Frost & Reed are a well-known fine Art Gallery, frame maker and fine art publisher founded in Bristol in 1808 by William Hill.
