About the Item

A very attractive antique oil on canvas landscape painting by the French Post Impressionist artist Max Bouvet (1854-1942), the painting circa 1890. The painting depicts a pastoral scene of a quintessentially French haystack of conical form with a pointed top, the vibrant yellow of the hay is set against the calm blue Summer sky to the background.

Maurice Montégut (1855-1911), was a celebrated French novelist & poet born in Paris, he was a prolific author of novels, short stories and poetry, he lived in Montmarte and was friendly with many of the famous French Impressionists and Post Impressionist artists. The painting typifies the early Post-Impressionist style with the use of vibrant colors and thickly applied paint to provide texture & depth, this painting is housed in the original Art Nouveau style carved & gilded frame. Condition of the painting and frame are excellent this very attractive painting is ready to hang on your wall. Bouvet was an artist born in 1854, in the Southwest of France in the coastal city of La Rochelle. Bouvet was viewed as one of the early French Post-Impressionists and painted seascapes and panoramic landscapes in the Breton & Vendée regions. He was heavily influenced by the Impressionists and one can see the obvious influence of Claude Monet's work in this painting, Monet had completed a number of such paintings of haystacks. Bouvet was also an accomplished operatic baritone singer. The painting at sight without the frame is 24.5" x 16"

Antique American Realist Harvest Landscape Painting Bucks County Pennslyvania
By Frank F. English
Located in Portland, OR
Antique American watercolor painting, landscape harvest farm scene by Frank F. English (1854 - 1922), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Circa 1900. A very attractive painting by the celebrated Pennsylvania artist Frank F. English, the location is in Point Pleasant, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The painting depicts a scene of blue skies with two farmers tossing hay with pitchforks & two horses harnessed to a hay wagon, with barns to the background. The painting signed lower right " Frank F. English", condition is excellent this very charming painting is ready to hang on your wall. Biography Frank F. English was born in Louisville Kentucky in 1854. In the early 1880s, he studied for five years in the evening classes of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His instructors included Thomas Eakins, James P. Kelly and Thomas Anshutz. However, English's reputation primarily rests with his outstanding facility as a watercolorist; most of his known paintings are executed in this medium. English's propensity for its use coincides, appropriately enough, with the watercolor's growing popularity among other American painters. The American Water Color Society brought the medium special prominence by the late 1860s, and acceptance on the level of oil painting in 1876. That same year, the society was invited to display its works at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Its members exhibited 116 watercolors, and their public exposure was enormous. It is safe to assume that during the 159-day Centennial, Frank English was among the nearly 10 million exposition attendees, surpassing attendance records at all preceding world's fairs. At age twenty-two, English, traveled to Philadelphia to see works by the Society's notables such as Samuel Colman, R. Swain Gifford, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Albert Fitch...
