Top of the World, Saturday Evening Post Cover

By Edmund Davenport

Located in Fort Washington, PA

Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed Lower Right Sight Size 38.25" x 29.25", Framed 45" x 35" Cover of The Saturday Evening Post Magazine, June 13, 1925 Edmund Davenport was a New Yorker and a successful illustrator in the 1920’s. He painted covers for Women’s Home Companion and The Saturday Evening Post, and at the same time, he worked in the art department of Paramount Studios. At the time of this publication, a young woman’s graduation from college was a rare accomplishment, and the opportunities for employment that required a college diploma, were even rarer. Nevertheless, it was a good reason for this pretty, young woman to be sitting on top of the world in the vicinity of “cloud nine.” “Top of the World” appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on June 13, 1925. Exhibited: Christie's New York, Illustrating America: Norman Rockwell and His Contemporaries, November 30, 2013- January, 2014 A luminous and rare Golden Age of Illustration cover...

English School, A Rare Portrait of John Scott Russell and "The Great Eastern"

English School, A Rare Portrait of John Scott Russell and "The Great Eastern"

Located in Queens, NY

English School, A Rare Historical and Important Portrait Painting of John Scott Russell and "The Great Eastern", (19th Century) Oil on canvas, in a period hardwood frame. John Scott Russell of Scotland (1808-1882) was one of the great marine engineers of the 19th century. In 1858 he launched the Great Eastern, (depicted here in this painting) then the world's largest ship, which would make history by laying the first transatlantic telegraph cable. He was one of the most distinguished naval architects of the 19th century. He made a study of the nature of waves for which he received widespread acclaim and recognition. He designed and built the wave - the first vessel constructed on the wave system - prior to establishing his own yard on the Thames which produces many steamships, most notably Brunel's ill-fated monster, The Great Eastern, as well as the worlds first successful ironclad warship H.M.S. Warrior. One time secretary of the society of arts, Russell was also one of the royal commissioners for the 1851 Great Exhibition...

Girl With Harpoon - Florence, Italy, 2020

Girl With Harpoon - Florence, Italy, 2020

Located in Hudson, NY

ABOUT Born in 1967, Piussi was raised in Florence where he studied at the Istituto d’arte, majoring in sculpture and painting and completing his artistic education at Milano’s Brera Art Academy. He lives in Florence, pursuing painting, bas-reliefs in terracotta and in bronze, and bronze sculpture. Piussi presents an ideal, almost childlike world which can be found below everyday events, a step outside the flow of time, yet still a part of contemporary life, with a nod to Alex Katz and David Hockney. The drama, or lack thereof, is played out in simplified, almost abstract spaces. Pure in intent, Piussi’s oeuvre are inspired by the Early Renaissance. Snapshot images of a world reduced to its essence, the apparently comic-book style has echoes of Giotto, Paolo Uccello, of medieval illuminations. Rather than mimicking the appearance of nature, Piussi reaches for its essence, without distracting details. Women stand on the shore of quintessentially peaceful seas, self-contained, at ease, unwitting replicas of classical goddesses - a proud diver echoes Neptune holding a trident. “Queen Kong...
