Pellegrin worked and lived in Marseilles, France. His main motifs are ship portraits of sailing vessels and occasional steamers. He worked in the French seaport of Marseilles during the second and third quarters of the 19th century. His work is characteristic of the Marseilles School, usually featuring the seaport's topography to form the painting's background. He commanded a pleasing and naturalistic style that made his works some of the most appealing of this Marine School. Widely recognized for the scope of his output and consistent high quality, paintings by Honore Pellegrin are substantially represented in numerous museum collections worldwide. The prestigious Peabody Museum in Salem, Massachusetts displays no less than 27 original works by this artist. Measuring 22" x 28" including the period gold frame.

"Twilight in the Hills" Luminous Autumnal Painting by William Louis Sonntag
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Wiscasset, ME
A luminous Autumn oil on canvas board landscape, probably of the hills in the Hudson River Valley, by the noted American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Signed in the lower right. Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
