Maxwell Mays (1918-2009) American painter and illustrator. Signed and dated 1983. This painting titled "Cascade Springs" is an intricate and lively depiction of a bustling Colorado town during its historical boom period. The painting illustrates the vibrant energy of the town with details of trains, trolleys, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians in a winter landscape. The scene captures the essence of Victorian and Edwardian architecture alongside the Rockies, representing a mix of rural charm and the burgeoning industrial presence with trains labeled "Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe" and freight cars marked "Rock Island" and "DRG." The composition is filled with movement: people strolling on the sidewalks, horses pulling carts loaded with goods, and trains arriving and departing, indicating a hub of economic and social activity. The detailed rendering of buildings, including "William M. Baxter Hay & Grain" and market scenes, emphasizes the town's industry and commerce. The snowy mountains and rooftops in the background further ground the painting in the Colorado Springs region, showcasing the rugged, wintry landscape that frames the town. The palette of subdued winter tones, combined with bright pops of color in the trains and clothing of the figures, enhances the painting’s nostalgic and whimsical quality typical of Mays' work. The title plaque on the back provides historical context, describing how people came to Colorado Springs for both riches and health, symbolizing a new society born from the merging of the West with industrial advancement. This picturesque narrative combined with Mays’ folk art style makes it a remarkable piece evoking both history and community. Overall, "Cascade Springs" is a celebration of early American life in a rapidly modernizing town, capturing both its charm and progressiveness through Mays' detailed and stylized artistic lens. Dimensions: 45.5"w x 35"h x 1.5"d (sight) Condition: Good. No issues observed. Ready to hang. About the Artist" Maxwell Mays was born in Rhode Island in 1918, and focused his art on celebrating the landscapes of his home state. Known for their birds-eye perspectives and nostalgic style, Mays' prints have appeared multiple times on the cover of Yankee Magazine. His paintings hang in many establishments, including the University of Rhode Island, and are particular favorites of Rhode Island residents. Mays' artwork often depicts scenes from throughout Rhode Island and the surrounding areas of New England but he did produce works depicting communities from across America . Featuring town squares, farm lands, and harbors, Maxwell Mays' prints celebrate the Americana found in small towns. A graduate of RISD, he began painting seriously while serving in the US Air Force in Brazil during WWII. His first one-man commercial show was at the Ferargil Gallery in New York in 1948. In the ensuing years he became notable for a number of highly successful art shows and magazine covers, and was a highly sought-after speaker and storyteller.

A Large Continental Oil on Canvas "The Prohibited Reading " after Karel Ooms (Belgium, 1845-1900). This beautiful executed painting depicts a historical scene of an old man and a young woman who are huddled over a bible. The pair is gazing in apparent concern or alarm, over the old man's shoulder, towards something outside of the picture. The scene is likely set in the 16th or 17th century when Protestants were prosecuted, amongst others, for reading the bible in the vernacular, a practice prohibited by the Catholic Church at the time. Signed (l/r) A. Ribas 15-12-913. Within a giltwood carved frame. circa: Probably Belgium, 1913. Karel Ooms was born in Dessel on January 27, 1845 as the youngest son of a large peasant family. At school his extraordinary talent for drawing was discovered. When he was twelve his hometown provided financial support which allowed him to study at the Antwerp Academy of fine Arts. One of his teachers at the Academy was Nicaise de Keyser, one of the key figures in the Belgian Romantic-historical school of painting and a painter of mainly history paintings and portraits. After graduating from the Academy 1865 Karel Ooms was welcomed with pomp in his home town Dessel. He painted two altarpieces for the local church Saint Nicolas, to express his gratitude to his city. Karel Ooms settled as an independent artist in Antwerp around 1871. He quickly established a reputation as a portrait painter. In addition, he received commissions for religious paintings and history paintings. He gained particular recognition with two large paintings...

Mid-Century Oil Painting of Sailboats on the Capri Coast by Giuseppe Cavalleri – Impressionist Marine Art on Board Discover a breathtaking mid-century sailboat painting by renowned Italian artist Giuseppe Cavalleri. This original oil on board painting beautifully captures the tranquil waters of the Capri coast in Italy, portraying a serene Mediterranean seascape filled with graceful sailing boats and sunlit reflections. A masterwork of Impressionist maritime art, this piece transports viewers to the calm, sun-drenched shores of southern Italy during the 20th century. Ideal for collectors of vintage Italian seascape paintings, enthusiasts of Impressionist coastal art, or those seeking an authentic marine painting that radiates peace and atmosphere. Artistic Highlights: Style, Technique & Composition 1. Impressionist Style and Technique This vintage marine painting by Giuseppe Cavalleri exhibits hallmarks of the Impressionist style, focusing on capturing natural light, mood, and momentary impressions over fine detail. The brushwork is fluid yet deliberate, allowing viewers to feel the gentle motion of the sea and the softness of the cloud-strewn sky. The artist skillfully uses short, broken brushstrokes to render the rippling water and textured sky, a signature of mid-century Impressionist techniques. The composition prioritises atmosphere and sensory experience, inviting a sense of immersion into the coastal environment. 2. Balanced Composition with Depth Cavalleri creates a strong sense of depth, using atmospheric perspective and clever placement of the boats. The largest sailboat is positioned off-centre to the right, drawing the eye with its elegant white and tan sails—an excellent use of asymmetrical balance. The horizon line sits just above the center of the painting, expanding the sense of openness and space. 3. Evocative Color Palette A soft, tonal blend of sky blues, aqua, and whites dominates the painting, giving it a serene, almost dreamlike feel. Subtle warm beige and peach tones in the sails contrast against the cool blues of the sea, adding both visual interest and harmony. Cavalleri masterfully blends hues to depict light reflections on water, making this an exceptional example of Italian tonalist marine painting. 4. Tranquil Atmosphere & Emotional Appeal This painting evokes a timeless sense of tranquility, reflecting the leisurely pace of coastal life in mid-20th-century Italy. The distant boats, hazy clouds, and calm water contribute to a peaceful, reflective mood. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, the scene resonates with themes of freedom, simplicity, and quiet beauty, making it a perfect centrepiece for any interior that values art with emotion and soul. Artist Biography: Giuseppe Cavalleri (1893–1951) Giuseppe Cavalleri was a gifted Italian painter born in Milan, Italy, on November 24, 1893. He studied under Ricardo Pellegrini at the esteemed Brera Academy, one of Italy’s most prestigious art institutions. Furthering his artistic development, he later trained in Barcelona, exposing him to a diverse range of European art influences. Cavalleri’s life was marked by resilience. After serving in World War I from 1915 to 1918, he sustained a permanent injury to his dominant right arm. Refusing to let this end his artistic journey, he taught himself to paint with his left hand, showcasing a rare determination and passion for art. Over his career, Cavalleri travelled extensively, capturing a wide array of Mediterranean landscapes, seascapes, and coastal scenes. His works reflect a deep connection to nature, light, and maritime life. He is best known for his tonalist landscape and marine oil paintings, which have become highly collectable. One of his celebrated pieces, Tramonto di Marina, features two anchored boats at sunset beside a distant channel marker—exemplifying his ability to infuse mood and narrative into seascapes. Giuseppe Cavalleri passed away in 1951, leaving behind a legacy of evocative, impressionistic art that continues to captivate viewers and collectors worldwide. Why This Painting is Perfect for Collectors & Enthusiasts Whether you’re an art investor, an interior designer sourcing coastal artwork, or a private collector of mid-century Italian paintings, this piece offers exceptional value and beauty. Ideal For: Collectors of original Italian seascape oil paintings Admirers of Impressionist marine art Enthusiasts of Capri and Amalfi Coast paintings...
