Warren W. Sheppard
Grand Canal, Venice

n/d

About the Item

Highly respected American painter Warren Sheppard depicts the fishing boats of Venice with their colorful sails along the still waters of the Adriatic Sea. Sheppard is famous for his scenes of Venice as he traveled there in the 1890’s. They are memorable for their light color palette and for the intimate recording of activity along these bustling waterways and are thus particularly coveted. This view is towards St. Mark’s Basilica, the most famous of the churches in Venice in the distance and one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture. Venice isoften referred to as the “Queen of the Adriatic”. Sheppard’s canvas shows the tower of the impressive Palazzo Ducale rising proudly above the white limestone and pink marble Gothic architecture of the Doge’s Palace. In an exceptionally high quality Empire style frame of intricate detail and 22 karat gold leaf! The scale used in 1stdibs for the median pricing is incorrect. His works of this size, quality and condition are always between $8,000 and $25,000. The frame alone is a value of $4,000.

  • Boothbay Harbor, Maine from the Hill
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Best known for his painterly landscape views, Oberteuffer developed a fresh and vigorous style, using a subdued color palette with agile brushstrokes that was influenced by French Impressionism. Boothbay Harbor from the Hill is a wonderful example of this style of painting and shows Oberteuffer’s mastery of subtle color. It is an added plus that Oberteuffer has specifically referenced a clearly identifiable locale- Boothbay Harbor- in his title and additionally denoted that the view was painted from the hillside, potentially capturing actual homes and buildings of the time. Framed in a Gold Leaf Whistler style frame of exceptional quality. The painting has vivid and fresh color and creates a window in any room. The canvas inside the frame measures 30 x 24 inches. Signed: Oberteuffer lower right Provenance: Estate of George Oberteuffer...
