About the Item

A fine pastoral landscape by Irish artist Edward B. Gay (1837-1928). Gay was born in Dublin, Ireland, and emigrated with his to Albany, NY at a very young age as a result of the potato famine. He began his art studies with a local Hudson River School artist James Hart, who was also an emigrant of the British Isles and saw talent in the young Edward. By 1858, at the age of twenty-one, Gay was already exhibiting at the National Academy of Design in New York. He relocated to Mount Vernon to accommodate the needs of a growing family, and would spend the next 58 years painting southern Westchester County, adopting the Barbizon manner by capturing the mood and light of many of the area’s quiet nooks and crannies. Gay was a member of both the Century Association and the prestigious Union League Club of New York. His works found their way into many museums and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Historical Society, Westchester Woman’s Club, Brigham Young University in Provo, UT, and many more. Oil on canvas, signed and dated 70 lower right, and housed in a decorative giltwood frame. Dimensions: 22 in H x 40 in W, actual; 30 in H x 48 in W x 1.5 in D, framed. Ref: 8

Autumn Landscape
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Milford, NH
A wonderful Autumn landscape likely of the Hudson River Valley by the revered American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
