Dramatic and moody Monterey Peninsula Coast seascape by Henry "Harry" Macartney (Irish/American 1867-1957). circa 1905, captures the rugged beauty of California’s central coast in this seascape, depicting turbulent Pacific swells surging against the weathered rock formations of the Monterey Peninsula. Deep olive-green waters break into luminous white foam, creating a striking contrast with the dark, imposing cliffs rising along the shoreline. A muted palette of earthy browns, slate greens, and atmospheric golds conveys the shifting coastal light beneath an overcast sky, while seabirds gliding above the rocks lend a sense of scale and movement. The painting reflects Macartney’s sensitivity to the tonal harmonies and dramatic natural forms of the California coast, presenting the landscape as both elemental and contemplative. Medium: Oil on stretched linen Signed lower left corner "H. Macartney" Date: Circa 1905 Condition: Good Presented in vintage gold-toned wood frame Canvas size: 20"H x 30"W Framed size: 26.25"H x 36.25"W Born in Armagh, Ireland on September 15, 1867, "Harry" Macartney immigrated to northern California about 1890 and studied at the School of Design.

Gorgeous late 19th century Tonalist landscape painting of foothills and oak trees in the style of Willard Leroy Metcalf circa 1900. Inscribed "M" in circle monogram lower left corner and on frame verso. Presented in original rustic giltwood frame. Image size: 6"H x 8"W. Framed size: 8.5"H x 10.5"W. Tonalist are usually intimate works, painted with a limited palette. Tonalist paintings are softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed, often depicting the landscape at twilight or evening, when there is an absence of contrast. Tonalist paintings could also be figurative, but in them, the figure was usually out of doors or in an interior in a low-key setting with little detail. Tonalism had its origins in the works of the French Barbizon school and in the works of American painters who were influenced by them. California Tonalism was born when the emphasis in California landscape painting passed from the grand landscapes of works like those of Thomas Hill and William Keith's early career, to more intimate views of a domesticated landscape. At the same time, the parallel Pictorialist Photography...

A fine tonalist landscape by American artist J. Francis Murphy (1853-1921). Murphy was born in Oswego, New York, he moved to Chicago in 1868, where his father was employed in the shipping industry. In Chicago, Murphy began working as a scene painter in a local theatre and was quickly promoted to lead his co-workers. Largely self-taught, his only training consisted of a few classes at the Chicago Academy of Design. There he became friends with Emil Carlsen and Theodore Robinson, and in 1873, Academy members elected him an Associate; a few weeks later, he became an Academician. His work was first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1876, where he was inducted eleven years later.He won numerous prizes, medals and honors for his landscape paintings, which are said to rank with those of George Inness, Alexander Wyant, and Homer Martin. Although his world was a limited one, his landscapes captured the forms of nature and the subtle nuances of the scene. Murphy was referred to as the "American Corot" because of his similarity to the painting style of Camille Corot (1796-1875), one of the original Barbizon...
