Dennis Sheehan
"Tranquility at Sunset" Realistic Oil Painting Landscape at Sunset

About the Item

Sheehan studied under George Gabin, who paints in a tight and traditional style. There, he learned the technique of American Tonalism, the contrast between light and dark, and adopted the style as his own. He became fascinated by the subtle tones and chords of light on landscape during transitional moments: dusk, dawn, or the time immediately before or after storms when small amounts of light and color in an otherwise somber environment produce piercingly beautiful effects. “My goal is to have the painting emanate light,” the artist explains. “This is why the areas of shadow are so important, for it is from them that this emanation proceeds.” This piece is framed. The unframed dimensions are 36 x 48.

  • 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...
