A beautiful large early 20th century oil on canvas depicting a tranquil beach landscape, by Daniel Sherrin. Excellent quality and condition work by this well known artist on a great scale. The artist lived and worked on the Kent coast and so this work is likely to depict a landscape in Whitstable or Herne Bay. Signed lower left and presented in a bespoke gilt frame. Artist: Daniel Sherrin (English, 1869-1940) Title: Tranquil Beach Landscape Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 25.5 x 35.5 inches (65 x 90 cm) including the frame Daniel Sherrin was an accomplished British painter of landscapes and maritime subjects. He spent the majority of his life in Seasalter, near Whitstable in Kent, where he became a local celebrity of repute. His father, John Sherrin RI RWS (1819-1896), was a painter of delicate still lifes in watercolour and trained by the distinguished William Henry Hunt (1790-1864). However, it’s unlikely that he provided any early tuition for his son as he actively dissuaded the young lad from entering the profession. As such, Sherrin was instead apprenticed to Peter Moore, a draper in Canterbury, while using any spare moment to sketch. It’s reported that he’d rise at 4am and complete a painting before breakfast. His artistic training beyond this point is unclear as several sources refer to him studying under Benjamin Williams Leader RA (1831-1923) although this is likely to be anecdotal rather than based on any facts. It’s plausible that he was actually self-taught and diligently studied from nature to hone his draughtsmanship. While still a teenager, Sherrin was offered a substantial contract by a significant picture dealer in London. Working rapidly, he could produce an extraordinary number of works to order - an attractive proposition. Several dealers sought his services and perhaps it’s fair to say that the speed of his production led to a raft of works, which failed to demonstrate his true ability. Given the right motivation, his landscapes were on a par with those of many leading contemporaries. Such was his talent, that his views have often been confused with Leader’s (and occasionally signed B W Leader...

Evert Moll (Dutch, 1878–1955) Rotterdam harbor painting, a signed original oil on canvas: a steamship, tugboats and barges in Dutch Impressionist brushwork. Signed bottom left. A large steamship dominates the right of the composition, smoke drifting from its funnel through the rigging. Tugboats and a sailing barge work the choppy water around it, and a laden barge crosses the foreground. Beyond, the quays and buildings of the port of Rotterdam run along the horizon beneath a broad sky of white and grey cloud. This is the working harbor Moll made his own. It is painted with the quick, broken brushwork and touches of pure color that characterize his marine scenes, with orange, blue and green flickering across the water. The painting is undated. Moll became best known for his views of the port of Rotterdam and the shipping on the Nieuwe Maas painted in the 1920s and 1930s, and this harbor view probably dates from that period. The reverse confirms a pre-war date. The stretcher carries a label of Kunsthandel Gebroeders Koch giving the firm’s Rotterdam address on the Noordblaak, in the city centre which was destroyed in May 1940, alongside its Hague address on the Hoogstraat. The dealership also appears in the provenance of a Moll painting...

Seascape with sailing boats and distant city at night. Probably Sweden, Signed "E.C" and dated 1920, oil on canvas. Mounted in a gilt wood frame. A coastal or maritime landscape with several sailing boats on calm water, viewed towards a distant town or harbour at evening. A tall beacon or lighthouse rises from the rocky shoreline at right, while further along the horizon a low cityscape is visible against the fading sky. The boats are distributed across the water, with the largest vessel in the foreground providing the principal point of focus. The painting is characterized by its restrained blue-green tonality and by the distinctive Nordic light, which remains visible across the night sky rather than giving way to complete darkness. Small warmer passages of ochre and red in the distant horizon and reflections provide contrast to the predominantly cool palette. The relatively broad and visible brushwork gives the surface an atmospheric quality while retaining the clearly defined forms of the boats, shoreline and distant buildings. The work is dated 1920, although the identity of the artist has not yet been established. The treatment of twilight and the lingering light of the northern sky places the work within a broader Scandinavian artistic interest that developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Around the turn of the century, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish artists repeatedly explored dusk, dawn and the transition between day and night. The Thiel Gallery has described this fascination with twilight and the particular Nordic light as a characteristic aspect of Nordic painting of the period, particularly among Symbolist and National Romantic artists. This interest was not restricted to a single style. Artists such as Nils Kreuger, Karl Nordström, Richard Bergh and Eugène Jansson...
