Johann Berthelsen, Manhattan Snow Storm Scene, Oil on Canvas Painting, 1960s

About the Item

This wonderful romantic painting depicts figures bustling along a Manhattan street during a snowstorm. Signed lower right. Johann Henrik Carl Berthelsen (1883–1972) Coming to America as a child, he enjoyed early success as an opera singer and music teacher. His friendship with the artist Wayman Adams resulted in a move to New York and experimentation with painting. When the great depression took a toll on his musical career, Berthelsen began selling oil scenes of his beloved New York City, which quickly found prominent buyers including William Randolph Hearst. While he also painted pastoral and mountain landscapes, Berthelsen’s snow scenes of Manhattan are particularly prized.
