William Calcott Knell Paintings

British, 1830-1880
William Callcott Knell was a London marine painter, probably the son of William Adolphus Knell, who was also a marine painter. Callcott Knell is renowned for his feel for the sea and the influences made on it by nature’s elements. Like his father, William Callcott Knell was obviously influenced in his early paintings by the Dutch tradition; this is apparent in the rather orderly treatment of wave formations. Later on, from about 1860, his style became looser and his seas more transparent but still showing remnants of the earlier method. There is a distinct influence by his father within the composition and execution of his subjects, but Knell looked at how the contemporary artists of his period interpreted the subject and in addition took on board their ideas into his palette. William Callcott exhibited his works from 1848 to 1865 at the Royal Academy, British Institution and Suffolk Street.

"White Dunes" - Original Winter Italy Landscape with Snow Covered Hills by Masri

By Masri Hayssam

Located in Carmel, CA

Masri Hayssam (Lebanese, Italian born 1965) "White Dunes" 2012 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars Signed by the artist in the bottom left corner of the painting. “White Dunes” is an expressive landscape piece that captures the sensation of light, movement, and open terrain rather than a fixed place. Broad, confident brushstrokes sweep across the surface, layering soft whites with deep greens, muted reds, and cool blues. The composition feels windswept and expansive, as if the landscape is shifting beneath changing light and atmosphere. This work reflects Masri’s enduring affection for Italy, particularly the landscapes surrounding Florence, where he often found inspiration in the quiet balance between nature and emotion. About the Artist: Masri is a passionate Italian, US-based artist whose work has been exhibited in the USA, the UK, Germany, Lebanon, Italy, and Norway. His work is varied and is especially known in Europe and in Major collections, featuring notable clients such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ringo Starr, Al Gore, and many more. Harnessing an insatiable desire for artistic discovery, innovation, and perfection, he dives into experimentation with openness and enthusiasm. As a result, his works are bright, expansive, and bold. Masri has developed a style that captures the Middle Eastern mood with a Lucien Freud...
