Penn, Impressionist Landscape Painting "Evening Pasture" by Frederick Wagner

About the Item

FREDERICK R. WAGNER (AMERICAN, 1864-1940) "Evening Pasture" Oil on canvas Signed lower right "F. Wagner" Item # 103GPP23Z A glowing work that retains the early gallery label from Newman Galleries in Philadelphia identifying the work as "Evening Pasture". We are pleased to present it in such fine conserved condition after layers wax residue and a very stubborn discolored varnish were removed to reveal a well-preserved autumnal scene capturing golden hour across wild fields of foliage centered around two trees with hints of the edge of town in the distance. It is executed on canvas relined on linen and is signed in the lower right corner "F. Wagner". It remains a fine example of work from one of Pennsylvania's earliest Impressionists. Measurements: 24 1/8" H x 30 1/8" W [canvas]; 31 1/4" H x 37 1/4" W [frame] Condition Report: Wax relining on linen tacked over new stretcher bars. Professionally cleaned and conserved, sealed in a fresh Damar varnish. Under UV examination a few spots of inpainting in the right tree and one spot directly below that tree near the lower edge; pigment flares somewhat obscure a full surface examination. Canvas is sturdy and stable with minimal trace craquelure throughout. Housed in a replaced silver-and-gilt frame.

  • American Colorist Landscape Painting “Lake Shore” by Frederic M. Grant
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    FREDERIC MILTON GRANT United States, 1886-1959 "Lake Shore" Oil on canvas Signed lower right "Frederic M. Grant", signed and titled "Lake Shore" verso on stretcher bars Item # 109MPK24Q A vibrant landscape that blends the lines of genre work with the impressionist landscape, it captures a pair of woman caught in the middle of a conversation while a young child is exploring the path barefoot. The traditional dress is reminiscent of a century prior and is evocative of a rural Italian landscape, though the stretchers on the reverse of the painting are simply titled "Lake Shore" with no recorded indication of the placement of the scene. The brilliant cobalt blue of the lake is visible to the far right of the nearly square composition while the trees stretch like spires through the horizon and beyond the scope of the canvas, proportionally dwarfing even the cliffs in the distance behind the women. It is a composition familiar to Grant, with his preference for framing subjects with towering local trees, utilizing a relatively square canvas and including just a hint of water. In this particular example, the interplay of light and shadow in the scene is positively brilliant with Grant's palette switching from high-chroma to low-saturation within the span of a single brushstroke. The scene is signed in the lower right in his typical script, "Frederic M. Grant" and is housed in a good quality period correct carved giltwood frame. ARTIST Born in Sibley, Iowa on October 6th of 1886, Frederic Milton Grant studied at the North Dakota State University before heading to the Art Institute of Chicago. There he trained under John Vanderpool, Alphonse Mucha, Frederick Freer...
