About the Item

Ipswich, 1901, by Theodore Wendel (1859-1932) Oil on canvas 9 x 14 inches unframed (22.86 x 35.56 cm) 14 ½ x 19 ½ inches framed (36.67125 x 49.68875 cm) Signed and dated on reverse Description: In this oil study, Theodore Wendel evokes a romantic conception of rural life. The pleasing green hues and pink flowers balance out a composition of serenity and organic nature. Wendel was an American Impressionist who first received his education in Ohio at the Cincinnati University School of Design before traveling to Italy, Germany, and most notably Giverny, France in the late nineteenth century to study and develop his artistry. After studying this French countryside and drawing inspiration from Impressionist contemporaries like Claude Monet, Wendel incorporated what he learned into his own work, gradually replacing French motifs with American ones. Wendel settled down in Ipswich, Massachusetts with his family, where he began to paint with a combination of Plein Air motifs and Impressionist techniques. He focused primarily on rendering organic subjects outside, using bright colors to make idealized images of the countryside and those who resided within it.

Winter Scene
By Walter Launt Palmer
Located in New York, NY
In this prototypical oil painting, Walter Launt Palmer's title as "the painter of the American winter" can be vividly and brilliantly seen. As an impressionist painter that emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Palmer took great interest in the picturesque American landscape, though he particularly focused on the rendering of this landscape glistening with snow. His pictures evoke an unreplicable natural serenity, and in this oil painting "The Winter Scene...

"Mary in the Garden" Oil painting Garden w Holy Statue Icon, American Cowboy
By Carl Bretzke
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of a rural property on a sunny day in the United States. A man wears a cowboy hat, a denim shirt, bandana over his face, and boots, while holding a shotgun. He's walking with determination to the left of the scene, with a medium sized black dog following him in tow. The bed of a pickup truck catches light in the distance, parked beside the residential structure. A farmhouse with a metal roof, and a wide-hooded porch, stands tall, offering shade and comfort, especially with cushioned armchairs to sit on out-front. A few electrical poles reach up towards the sky, confirming the contemporary time frame. In the foreground, a garden is fenced in with wire and wood. A statuette of the Virgin Mary is placed within this fenced garden, absorbing sunlight alongside the plants. An apt depiction of contemporary Americana...
