Philip Wilson Steer Art

British, 1860-1942

Philip Wilson Steer was born at Birkenhead on December 28th, 1860. He was the son of Philip Steer, a painter of portraits and a teacher of painting. The Steer family moved to Apsley House, Whitchurch, Monmouth, when Wilson Steer was three years old and he lived there for 17 years attending the Hereford Cathedral School and, when he was about 18, he was studying drawing and painting under John Kemp at the school of art at Gloucester. He failed to enter the Academy Schools and went to Paris in 1882, studying first at Julian’s under Bougurean and later, in 1883, at the Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel. He exhibited two works at the academy: Fantaisie, the head of an Italian girl and Discovery, a painting of a woman with a mask, which the artist later destroyed. The grafting of French Impressionism on English stock has, perhaps, been Steer’s chief contribution to art in paintings from Wilson, Gainsborough, Turner and Constable and has been worthily continued to our days. It is interesting that the real impetus towards this only came to him later than his residences in Paris in 1882–83, through the exhibition at Dowdeswell of the works of Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. As a result of the French training of British artists, Scottish and English, in 1886 the New English Art Club, of which Steer had been for more than 30 years a cornerstone, was inaugurated, Steer contributing one oil painting, Andante.

"At the Trough" is an artwork created on paper using charcoal. The dimensions of the artwork are 51.5x34.5 cm. The composition features a woman and a trough, suggesting a rural scene related to feeding and gathering water. The use of charcoal as the medium creates a rich, textural effect in the artwork.

Amercan Merchant Ship in Philadelphia Harbor

By Thomas Birch

Located in Costa Mesa, CA

Thomas Birch is considered one of the earliest American Marine painters of importance both in his own time and historically, forming the foundation of what would become a great American Maritime movement in the successive years of the 19th century. Born in England, Birch started as a landscape painter but after the War of 1812 he turned to marine subjects, taking inspiration from the best of both English and Dutch maritime traditions but refining these techniques into a very recognizable style all his own. The work featured here is a classic of Birch's later period, when he focused specifically on maritime subjects, mainly the busy waterways of Philadelphia Harbor. Here we see one of those scenes- a series of ships plying their trade, all framed by the city as it sits across the Delaware River, with the tall, white spire of what is either Independence Hall or Christ Church to the left of the main vessel. The details of the city are particularly good in this painting, with the wharf building to the left and the long line of buildings all along the shore. The American Merchant Bark at the center of this painting is rendered in excellent detail, from her house flag and pennant, to her rigging and sails, and down to her deck filled with the activity of crewmembers readying the ship to head out, her gilt billet...
