About the Item

Joseph Pierre Nuyteens (Belgian-American, 1885-1960) Untitled (Possibly Marshal Ferdinand Foch), 20th century Etching Sight: 14 1/2 x 12 in. Framed: 20 1/4 x 16 1/2 x 1 in. Signed in plate upper left, signed lower right, numbered 22/200 This etching may depict Marshal Ferdinand Foch, a French military leader who served as supreme commander of the Allied armies during the final months of World War I. He played a pivotal role in the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended the conflict. Painter, and etcher of landscapes, figures, cityscapes and animals and book illustrator, Josef Nuyttens was a native of Belgium, where he studied at the Antwerp Royal Academy. He continued his art education in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts*. By 1905, he was exhibiting his work in Belgium. "By the end of the First World War (1918), he had emerged as one of Belgium's leading artists and received the bronze medal from the Queen of Belgium as well as the Chevalier of the Order of Leoopold II." (artoftheprint) In the mid 1920s, Nuyttens moved to the United States, first living in New York and then settling in Chicago, where he studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago*. In 1911 and 1912, before immigrating to America, he illustrated four books by Oz book author L. Frank Baum: The Flying Girl and its sequel, The Flying Girl and Her Chum, Phoebe Daring, and Annabel, second edition. Nuyttens also illustrated Kenny by Leona Dalrymple. His mediums were oil, watercolor, pastel and etching. Many of his works were destroyed in Chicago in a house fire in which he lost his life in 1960. (Bio from Archives of AskArt)

19th Century Engraving by American Impressionist Herman Hyneman
By Herman Hyneman
Located in New York, NY
Herman Hyneman (American, 1849-1907) Untitled, c. 1880 Engraving Sight: 13 x 8 1/2 in. Framed: 26 1/2 x 20 1/2 x 3/4 in. Signed bottom The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island." Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master. In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay. In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon. That painting received favorable reviews both in Europe, and later in Philadlephia where it was exhibited alongside the works of other Philadelphia Artists exhibiting at the Salon that included Thomas Eakins, Pearce, Edward May...
