19th Century Oil on Canvas Attributed to James Webb of The Liege
By James Webb
Located in Chicago, IL
This striking oil on canvas attributed to James Webb titled "Liege" depicts a river scene in the city of Liege, Belgium. This exquisite cityscape features various boats docked at port, alongside crowds of passers-by. The painting recedes into mountainous views before hazily meeting a blue sky, speckled with clouds. This atmospheric landscape invites the viewer to peruse the past and get lost in the intimate details of Liege, Belgium. The painting is nested in a gorgeous statement giltwood frame crafted from wood and gesso. The frame is an empire-style frame with bead trim on the sight edge and ribbon trim on the concave profile. James Webb (1825-1895) was a British painter specializing in marine views and landscapes, depicting both England and continental Europe. He was born in London to a family of fellow painters, and went on to study at the Royal Academy. He exhibited in London at the Royal Academy and the British Institute between 1850 and 1888, and many of his works still hang in London in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Tate Gallery. His painting style was inspired by English...
