About the Item
1880s Century Original California School Oil Painting of Native Americans Fishing in Sierras by Ransome Gillet Holdredge
Wonderful landscape of Sierra Mountains in Hudson River School style with Native Americans fishing and their boats along the river by Ransome Gillet Holdredge (American, 18-36-1899), circa 1875. Holdridge was recognized as a great painter during his life. His paintings are in the permanent collections of many museums, particularly those specializing in California artists. We're pleased to offer this majestic landscape of the Sierra Mountains with a river in the foreground with a group of Native Americans around a bonfire with their dug-out canoes beached on the river's shore. The snow-covered Sierras in the background with an old gnarled and scrappy Madrone tree in the foreground, painted with a more saturated paint palette, creates depth and perspective while providing a balanced and pleasing composition.
Medium: Oil paint on linen.
Signed: Lower right corner "RC Holdredge"
Condition: Restored to original size and professionally cleaned and repaired.
Canvas size: 30"H x 50"W.
Framed: 36"H x 55.50"W x 3"D Gilt-toned gesso and wood frame of the period. Included as-is
Ransome Gillet Holdredge was born in 1836 and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1850s, where he became head draughtsman at Mare Island Naval Yard. In 1874, with the assistance of friends and patrons, he moved to Paris for two years where he studied painting and traveled around Europe. On his return, he gained a reputation as a leading landscape artist, traveling through the Western United States from Utah and the Rocky Mountains, to Oregon and the Sierra Mountains, to Yosemite and to the San Francisco Bay Area, often living with local Native American tribes.
Prior to his studies in Europe, Holdridge painted in the Hudson River School style of realism, and signed his works with the surname spelled Holdredge. In Europe, he developed a romantic style evocative of the Barbizon School, and began spelling his surname as Holdridge.
He may have been a founder of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, and was an early member of that association. He helped organize the San Francisco Art Association and was friends with Charles Warren Stoddard and Robert Louis Stevenson. After achieving fame, he attained some wealth, which he subsequently squandered on drink. He died destitute, on or around April 15, 1899.
His works are, or have been, displayed in the Shumate Collection of the Oakland Museum of California, the De Young Museum, the Hart Collection at the Sonoma County Museum, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Sacramento's Crocker Museum, Society of California Pioneers, Bohemian Club, University of California Berkeley's Bancroft Library, Prescott, Arizona's Phippen Museum of Western Art, The Colorado Heritage Center at the Colorado Historical Society in Denver, Colorado, Reno's Sierra Nevada Museum, Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, Hearst Art Gallery at Saint Mary's College of California, Jack S Blanton Museum of Art, Oregon Historical Society in Portland, Oregon, and Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY.
