The Mill, First Slaughter, original impressionist English landscape

Known for it's timeless charm, the quaint Cotswolds of England conjure up visions of King Arthur and Robin Hood! This original impressionist landscape of a classic street in the Cotswolds exemplifies the warm and inviting feeling of that region of England, resplendent with aging shrubs, mellowed stone, locals lingering over conversation or hugging the building as traffic rumbles by on the narrow roadways. The artist, legendary artist John Phillip Osborne...

Oh the stories that this coastal scene at the last light of the day could tell! The sky is nearly flashing as the sun light diminishes sending pools of sparkles on the water's surface. The crew and guests on the schooners, smaller sailboats and dinghy become absorbed in the culmination of their day's journey and the journeys of the passengers in the other remaining boats as they navigate their boats with safe passage to their home dock destination. Rising star fine artist Paul Beebe...

Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 19.5 x 15.5 inches Johannes Schiefer was born in 1896 in the Netherlands, and quickly gained notoriety for his landscapes, still life’s and portraits. Schiefer won the Prix de Rome at the age of 19 and studied at the Düsseldorf Academy in Germany, and then moved to Paris where he continued his studies in art at the Beaux Arts, and later at the Villa Medici in Rome. He traveled to paint across Europe, primarily France and Italy and also Latin America. When he married, he settled down in Nice France, and during the late thirties, he traveled and painted the coastline of the South of France, as well as Venice and the Adriatic. He remained in France until 1942, when he moved to New York with his family after the birth of their daughter, future actress Joanna Miles. Already an artist of stature when he arrived in New York, he settled with his family on Long Island, and for the next 30 years, Schiefer kept on painting and built a solid reputation as an important American artist. The Schiefers also had a son, Johannes Jr. After the war, Schiefer maintained a Paris studio and became a resident of Los Angeles for a time in the 1950s. For the next 30 years Schiefer kept on painting and during his career had numerous one man shows, having exhibitions at: Gallery Zak in Paris; Kunsthaus in Hamburg; Kunsthalle in Munich; Stiebel Galleries in Paris; O'Connor Gallery in Ontario; Museum of Modern Art, Wildenstein & Co, Carol Carstairs Gallery and Schoeneman Galleries in New York City; Esther Robles Gallery, County Museum and Vigoveno Galleries in Los Angeles; and the San Francisco Museum. Like Picasso, Schiefer never permitted himself to be “type-cast” in a single monotonous style. If there is anything that typifies his work, it is his versatility, his deft handling of subdued tones to create a unique brilliance of light and color that stamps every painting with his own individuality. In February 1964, Ethel Kennedy...
