About the Item

Charles J. McLaughlin (American, 1888 - 1964) Signed: CJM (Lower, Right) " Auqaduct e Saltillo ", c. 1930s (Titled on Verso) Oil on Canvas 23 1/2" x 28" Housed in a 3 1/2" Frame Overall Size: 30" x 35" In overall very good condition. Charles Jasper McLaughlin was a renowned artist born in Covington, Kentucky in 1890 and passed away in 1964. His works were extensively displayed in prestigious galleries in Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and New York City during the 1930s through the late 1940s. Despite being recognized as "one of metropolitan Cincinnati's greatest painters" by The Enquirer in his obituary, history has forgotten the work of this talented artist. McLaughlin attended Holmes High School in Covington, Kentucky. In 1905, he studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy under Frank Duveneck. Later, he traveled to France to study fresco painting. There, he received guidance from Paul Boudoin and Robert LeMontaigne-St. Hubert at the Sorbonne in Paris. Additionally, he studied landscape painting under Andre Strauss and Raymond Balland (dates unknown). McLaughlin was a man with diverse interests and talents. For instance, he spent two summers in Fontainebleau, France, studying architecture. Later in 1916, he designed his own home in Covington, called "The Riverside House." Additionally, he designed the interior of Trinity Episcopal Church in Covington. From 1913 to 1920, he worked as a decorator at Rookwood. At some point, the dates of which are unknown, he also worked for the Kentucky Post. During the early 1920s, McLaughlin worked as an architect at the Ferro Concrete Company located in Cincinnati. Later, from 1927 to 1929, he taught architecture at the Texas A. and M College. In the early 1930s, McLaughlin returned to Cincinnati to study painting at the Cincinnati Art Academy. McLaughlin traveled to France, Italy, Corsica, Greece, and Mexico. However, among all these places, Mexico seemed to be his favorite as he owned a "picturesque place" in Saltillo. His love for the country shows in his work, particularly in Mesa and Mountains (date unknown) and Satillo's Matterhorn (date unknown), which feature his studio.

  • Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape Scene
    Located in Firenze, IT
    A luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...
