About the Item

Comprising over three years of continuous work "Drama Magnifico" is comprised of over 100 figures and is the masterwork of celebrated artist James Van Fossan. Artist statement: "I paint because it is a language of beauty, a simple and instantaneous manner in which I can communicate my heart clearly. This is the only occupation that has made me truly happy and can bring happiness to others at the same time. I will never stop." Biography: James Van Fossan, b. 1964. Resides in Eagle, Colorado. Since leaving the corporate world to focus on his art full time ten years ago, the self taught Van Fossan has come to command some of the highest recognitions in realism.

Original Oil Painting by the English Artist James R. Webb

By James Webb

Located in Vancouver, British Columbia

An atmospheric oil painting depicting a seaside with sunlit high sand dunes in the forefront and in Stark contrast a dark stormy sky in the background with seagulls overhead. Small sailing ships can be seen in the distance. Climbing the dunes is a shepherdess and her small flock of sheep grazing on meagre offerings along the dunes. A young couple can also be seen sitting on the beach in the background. The painting is in its original carved and gilded frame. Signed James Webb and dated 18_7 on the bottom right hand corner of the canvas. Why the artist omitted the "decade" digit and put an underscore instead is a mystery. The painting is set in an intricately carved gilded frame which has been professionally restored. James R Webb...
