Period Marine Landscape Credited to Warren Sheppard

About the Item

This beautiful painting, due to its very high quality of execution, style and era, can be referred to the great artist Warren Sheppard, who specialized in seascapes. Of great evocative power, this painting excites because of the atmosphere the artist was able to create. The ships with their sails unfurled in the roadstead, the faded harbor in the background and the characters in the foreground make this painting a small masterpiece. This painting, never before on the market, comes from a private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition. Warren W. Sheppard (b Greenwich, New Jersey 1859; d Brooklyn, New York 1937) American naval painter. As a young man Warren Sheppard learned the art of painting under the supervision of the artist Mauritz Fredrick de Haas as well as through his studies at Cooper Union. From a young age Sheppard was highly interested in naval life, and aside from painting he designed yachts and wrote two books on the subject of ocean navigation. Sheppard was asked to illustrate many newspapers due to his ability to accurately capture the most minute of shipping and boating detail. In 1874 he began to exhibit his work at the Brooklyn Art Association. From 1880 until 1899, Sheppard exhibited at the Brooklyn Academy of the Arts in New York. In 1884 Sheppard was awarded a gold medal at the Denver Exposition.

George Lance Period Signed Picture Portrait
By George Lance
Located in Roma, IT
Beautiful oil on canvas painting depicting a young noblewoman sitting outdoors with a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a cage on the ground, by the great English artist George Lance This painting, never before on the market, comes from a private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition. Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. George Lance (24 March 1802 – 18 June 1864) was an English painter of still life and portrait miniatures. Lance was born at the old manor-house in Little Easton in Essex. His father was William Lance who had previously served in a regiment of light horse and was at the time of Lance's birth an adjutant in the Essex yeomanry; he later became the inspector of the Bow Street horse-patrol. His mother, Louisa Lucy (née) Constable, with whom his father had eloped from boarding-school, was the daughter of Colonel Constable of Beverley in Yorkshire. Although Lance showed a predilection for art at a very early age, he was placed, while not yet fourteen, in a factory in Leeds. However, the work injured his health and he returned to London. Wandering one day into the British Museum, he casually started a conversation with Charles Landseer, who happened to be drawing there. On learning that Landseer was a pupil of Benjamin Haydon, he went early next morning to that painter's residence, and asked to become a pupil. Haydon replied that if his drawings promised future success he would instruct him for nothing. Not many days later Lance, still not yet fourteen, entered Haydon's studio, and remained there for seven years, at the same time studying in the schools of the Royal Academy. While designing a picture inspired by Homer's Iliad, he decided, before putting on the colours, to paint some fruit and vegetables as practice. This work attracted the notice of Sir George Beaumont, who purchased it, and this success led him to paint another fruit-piece, which he sold to the Earl of Shaftesbury. He then painted two fruit-pieces for the Duke of Bedford...
