About the Item

A wonderful tonalist cityscape of New York City at night by American impressionist artist Frederick (Frank) Usher De Voll (1873-1941). De Voll was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and was a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design (1896). He went on to study at the Art Student’s League with W.M. Chase and Robert Henri. De Voll is best known for his paintings of New York street and harbor scenes. He would travel to the empire city, huddling along its doorways and riding the Staten Island Ferry to capture the city from the perspective of its everyday inhabitants. He found beauty among the busy farmers market, looming bridges and evening skyline. De Voll received the Silver Medal in 1915 at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. His works are in museum collections such as RISD and at the Delgado Museum in New Orleans. He was a member of a number of fine art institutions including the Providence Art Club, the Providence Water Color Club, the Springfield Art Association and the American Artists Professional League.

In Chicago, Murphy began working as a scene painter in a local theatre and was quickly promoted to lead his co-workers. Largely self-taught, his only training consisted of a few classes at the Chicago Academy of Design. There he became friends with Emil Carlsen and Theodore Robinson, and in 1873, Academy members elected him an Associate; a few weeks later, he became an Academician. His work was first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1876, where he was inducted eleven years later.He won numerous prizes, medals and honors for his landscape paintings, which are said to rank with those of George Inness, Alexander Wyant, and Homer Martin. Although his world was a limited one, his landscapes captured the forms of nature and the subtle nuances of the scene. Murphy was referred to as the "American Corot" because of his similarity to the painting style of Camille Corot (1796-1875), one of the original Barbizon...
