Large Art Nouveau Painting C. 1908

About the Item

Originally rooted in the Italian word cartone, a cartoon is a full-scale preparatory drawing for a fresco, oil painting or a tapestry. This cartoon was prepared for the dining room mural in Charles M Schwab's Riverside Dr mansion at the turn of the century. It has painstakingly restored revealing the gorgeous colors and details of this piece of history. Last photos show cartoon before restorations. Background: In 1901, Charles M Schwab, a successful steel baron, built a 75-room mansion that sat on Riverside Drive in Manhattan. The mansion is remembered as one of the most prestigious mansions in Manhattan. Schwab spent 6 million dollars building the mansion which was an astronomical cost for the early 20th century. The home was filled with ornate details and one-of-a-kind art and furniture. Sadly, the depression forced Schwab to leave his home for more affordable housing. The mansion was bought by a developer, its content sold and then demolished in 1948.
