"Knight on Horseback, " Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau Medieval Revival Mural
About the Item
A rare and magnificent example of a mural influenced by both the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, this painting of a plumed knight on horseback demonstrates the American fascination with Medieval themes and images from 1900-1930. Clearly painted for an important house or club in the early 20th century, the painting exhibits the muted, rich colors that were favored at the time. The painter is reputed to be no less than Harvey Ellis, the brilliant designer and painter who created some of the finest furniture designs for Gustav Stickley, and earlier created numerous brilliant renderings for architects such as Leroy Buffington in Minnesota. The painting is oil on canvas, and retains its original chestnut frame.
