About the Item

A mid to late 19th Century antique oil on canvas landscape painting done in the style of American artist Albertus del Orient Browere. This painting is done in oval form on a rectangular canvas and stretcher. The portions to be covered by the spandrel are painted brown. This painting is housed in a period 19th Century American Walnut frame with a decorated lemon gold liner. This work is unsigned. From the artnet website, a biography on Albertus del Orient Browere, “Albertus, born in Tarrytown, New York in 1814, was the son of a sculptor, John Henri Isaac Browere (1790-1834), famous for his plaster life masks of Thomas Jefferson, Gilbert Stuart, and others. Washington Irving’s History of New York inspired Albertus to depict Peter Stuyvesant’s Arrival at Hartford (1833), Recruiting Peter Stuyvesant’s Army for the Recapture of Fort Casimir, and The Recapture of Fort Casimir (both 1838; Knoedler), which are full of animated figure groups and descriptive detail. He also exhibited The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow in 1839. Around 1834-40, Browere moved to Catskill; meanwhile, he was exhibiting works at the American Art-Union, the National Academy, and at the Apollo Association. The New York Historical Association in Cooperstown has Browere’s most famous painting, Mrs. McCormick’s General Store (1844), a comical genre scene of misbehaving boys. Gold fever lured Browere to California in 1852 where he stayed almost four years. A second trip is documented (1858-61). Browere returned to Catskill where he died on 17 January 1887.” The painting I referenced earlier shares compositional and subject similarities. The stretched canvas itself measures approximately 21” wide by 27.25” high.
